I have the KX1 and the KX3 and I would not call the KX3 huge compared to the KX1, I would say that it was larger. Huge would be maybe comparing a K3 to a KX1.
Having said that I am almost always leaning towards the KX3 for QRP and portable work now. No, I will not sell the KX1 because I like it and there are good reasons I want to use that as well (still). But, if the KX1 had a larger screen and handled 80 thru 10 and maybe one or two other more modern features then it would be so close to the KX3 that it would not be a good decision for product lineup. The KX1 having its special place at the lower end of available QRP rigs is a good marketing objective. Oh, I also have a Norcal 40A but it does collect dust now-a-days. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jan 4, 2013, at 8:17 AM, "hawley, charles j jr" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have one and the lack of a full display is probably the thing I would like > changed the most.
