Or, in the case of G - Foundation license allows 10w, Intermediate 50w, Full
400w.
And Foundation license holders may build a recognised kit - so the KX3 will be
just ideal for these guys to get started on HF and then add the PA when they
get Intermediate and run it at 50w. When they get Full

I bought my K3 [#642] because I liked its performance and feature set
and I like Elecraft, I already had a K2/100 and KX1. None of the K3
features and performance goes away when a KX3 or K4 hits the market.

It's the easy-payment plan for full power. Spend some now, some more later.

The microcontroller is like, but not the same as, the one in the K3. The
DSP is a new, 5th generation device designed for extremely low power
