That's the beauty of buying an Elecraft kit, Ron. You start with the basic KX3 and add options as you feel that they're needed. Try that with the "Big Three." A new model is introduced, and suddenly your current transceiver has dropped in resale value.
The necessary tools are noted in the "Tools Required for Assembly" section of the KX3 Assembly Manual: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3%20Kit%20Assembly%20Manual-sm.pdf Depending on the timeframe of "the near future," Elecraft is quoting 90-120 days for delivery for KX3s ordered now. 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW On 6/12/2012 7:42 PM, Ronald Nutter wrote: > I am thinking about purchasing a KX3.
