Hi Wayne, I already put in a vote for this with Eric, but wanted to ask if there would/could be some way to:
1. Add an external preamp for 6m, as is done with the K3. If I am to use this as a portable radio for 6m EME DXpeditions, it will be imperative to be able to add a preamp in the receive line. 2. Control the PTT line on the KX3 from the computer's Serial Port RTS or CTS lines. JT65A switches the radio into transmit by first raising RTS and CTS lines on the computer's serial port. After about half a second the JT65A tones begin, leaving enough time to switch the antenna relays and turn on the amplifier without hot switching anything. This works great in the K3, and I hope there will be the same logic in the KX3. Please let me know if you are making, or have already made provisions for these, or if I am better off to look elsewhere for a more portable rig than the K3.
