I think of the KX3 as a radio that will have multi-use appeal. Yes, it should be a fine TFR, with great performance. It can also be a great camp radio, on the table in the RV or cabin. With the use of the (to come) KXPA100, It can be 100 W at the desk or in the car, and a super QRP rig on the trail or in the kayak.
For many, it could be the ideal radio to grow with you. Remember the Foundation license in the UK is limited to 10W max. Get the amp after you upgrade, instead of a whole new rig. I think a product that may have some appeal is a slimmed-down version of the P3 for portable use. Perhaps the same thickness as the KX3. There's a lot of spare room in the current desktop version. In fact, the case was made out of steel to give it some weight so it wouldn't move around on the desk. How about this- a version of the P3 specifically for the KX3- it hinges over the front panel, protecting the knobs while in transport. Flip it up for normal operation, with a full featured panadapter above radio faceplate. I'd buy one. 73, Bruce, N1RX >Please explain why someone would want to use a P3 with a "trail radio," >which runs off of batteries?
