The KX3 is, generally speaking, a subset of the K3 optimized for ultralight, portable operation (1.5 pounds, vs. 9 to 10 pounds for the K3). It also adds SDR features, attached keyer paddle, and some additional versatility for mobile operation (such as a mic with UP/DN buttons, and eventually a mobile mounting bracket). The K3 adds: - internal 100 watt PA and ATU options - narrow crystal roofing filters (down to 200 Hz) for outstanding close-in dynamic range in contest conditions - superhet receiver with very narrow per-ham-band filters for the ultimate in out-of-band signal rejection; optional SWL-band filter modules for both main and sub - fully independent sub receiver option with performance identical to main receiver, allowing monitoring of both TX and RX frequencies simultaneously with different modes and bandwidths, and a separate antenna input allowing independent band monitoring and diversity receive - full-size front panel with convenient control of many additional DSP parameters, etc, and more menu entries for customization of operating features - close integration with the Elecraft K-line (KPA500 amp, P3 panadapter, KAT500 ATU) 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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
