Fred,
You are right but small is beautiful. This is a dream or wish and I can
understand. The wee KX1 sure does look like fun. The Kx3 is incredible
and thanks be for the K3! Now for the remoter operators who would love
remote P3 capabilities; well the list goes on. A bit of the Dear Santa
Claus letters is surely okay. Elecraft has kept us a pretty happy lot.

I wish that Elecraft just keeps doing as it has in the past and present with
new and old products. Being it parts, improvements, firmware upgrades they
are so far ahead of all the others all they need to do is what they have
been doing all along!
It sure works for me...

I have a KX-1, and will soon have a KX-3.
I agree they are different radios, in the best possible way. I would also
say that adding the features that would turn a KX-1 into a KX-3 not only
makes no business sense for Elecraft, but also would disserve the loyal
customer base.
That said, the two features of the KX-1 I would love to see added/changed
are:
1. More digits in the display. Maybe it's just me, but I often have to
toggle among resolutions to remember where I am in the band.
2. More bands. Not necessarily all. For qrp, 20 and 30 are great for
daytime, and 40 and 80 for night. Would be nice to have 15.
I do love the size of the KX-1, which makes it the perfect
take-along-on-a-business-trip-even-when-unsure-you-will-have-time-to-play
radio. I think the KX-3 is a little too big for that, but the perfect size
for taking along when you KNOW you'll have time to play.
Thanks for being Elecraft. Best thing that has happened to fun ham radio
since I was licensed in 1964.
