I give up -- why is the KX3 not a mobile transceiver? Now the idea of having one mobile rig for HF through VHF/UHF is useful but it would not be my first choice. In fact, in my pickup truck now, I have two mobile rigs. An Icom 706 MkIIG and a Yaesu 7800R. The Yaesu is a 2 meter, 70 cm FM mobile rig. The 706 does have 2 meter and 70 cm capability but I never use it. It is a real hassle so I prefer two separate rigs and I will probably always prefer that as I like to monitor the 2 meter calling frequency when I am otherwise doing other stuff on HF.
I plan to upgrade my 706 (which is not really the greatest CW rig) to a KX3 sometime later this year. 73, phil, K7PEH On May 21, 2012, at 6:01 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > *How about an Elecraft mobile with remote head with coverage HF, 6, 2 and > 70cm with 100W output on HF - 6M and 50W on 2M and 40W on 70cm? > > The current offerings are of questionable quality and performance but many > operators own these types of radios for mobile and or backup shack > transceivers etc. > > International sales would be good I should imagine given the issues with > the current crop of available offerings from the opposition......... > > Whilst the KX3 can fit this market, it really is not an all band, all mode > ideal mobile transceiver. > > Slow day here and just mulling over my "want" vs "need" list. > > 73's > Gary > * > -- > Gary > VK4FD - Motorhome Mobile > Elecraft Equipment > K3 #679, KPA-500 #018 > Living the dream!!! > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
