Agreed, the big win on the KX3's 2 meter coverage is *all mode* capability (and that's coming from someone who will never utilize it for that).
As far as using an HT as scanner duty in a mobile is concerned - been there / done that, fiddly at best. > It would be foolish to tie up the KX3 just for monitoring of weather and public service frequencies. Well I just have to completely disagree with that. If you're not operating HF, why wouldn't you want to monitor those public service freqs without having to install a second rig? Sounds quite convenient to me. In fact, it's exactly what I'd like. But again, I realize I know nothing about the tradeoffs involved. KX3 still sounds like a winner. > In addition, it is often very convenient and sometimes necessary to cover two-meter FM and HF bands simultaneously. 100% agreed. > The only extended two-meter coverage that *might* be worthwhile is enough to cover MARS operation above and below the two-meter band. (I won't go into the obvious examples to the contrary) --Andrew, NV1B .. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
