No densely packed Surface Mount components to solder on two sides of the PCB?
Heck, hardly worth the effort. ;-)
Actually, I'm a bit of a newbie on kits, and didn't want to muck up my new
K3S system. That, and the factory burn-in and re-alignment seemed like a
real plus. I'll have fun enough learn

Oops.. I missed that. It would never occur to me to buy a "built" unit
if I could get it as a kit...

Again, thanks for all the help on and off list. My ship came in a bit faster
than expected, so I've been able to order a built K3S-100 today, with ATU,
SubRX, DigVoice, GenRX, TCXO/REF, 2.8/1.8/1.0/400/250 8-pole filters, K-Pod,
mike and headset as well as a P3 with TXMON and SVGA. No 2m module - h
Ah. I suppose Elecraft might cover issues beyond a year for original owners,
for for a used unit, you pay the rate/parts. What was your experience, if you
don't mind me asking. Best regards, Bret aka Charles Jessee KC1CJN --

I've been monitoring this list for similar threads now for a bit now as my
situation is close to Maverick's. I love my K2, but after having played
with some online sets via WebSDR.org and learning some basics on using a
panadapter has only piqued my interest to getting a newer set. Data modes

Hi Joel,
For pain point #1: I set up two macros accessible via the same PF key on
the KX3. The last couple of macro commands setup a toggle on each macro
line. Makes switching between SSB and Digital very easy/fast with the
press of one button. I offer the two macros for your consideration.

Let me add a little to the fray then.
Up to recently, I had both the K3/P3 combo *and* a KX3. I sold the K3/P3 and
added a PX3 to the KX3. I am looking to add the KXPA100 sooner or later.
My K3 had a lot of options:
100 W amp
2nd receiver
BPF on the 1st receiver
500 Hz CW filters in both receiv
Summarizing some great offline feedback I'm getting, I can see a few options
emerging:
1. Get a loaded K3S/P3
2. Get a loaded KX3/PX3/KXPA100 system
3. Get a loaded/used K3/P3, which "beats" a KX3 system used for a base, at
about the cost of a KX3 system
4. Get a "limited" K3S/P3 system, which is
But maybe phrased another way.
I'm just a few years into HAM with a General license, and continuing to
explore CW, contesting, digital, etc., using my Yaesu FT-897D.
The major upsides for the KX3 vs K3S are portability and cost - a Full Monty
K3S-100/P3 vs Full Monty KX3/PX3/KXPA100 is about $430
