There are many important differences between the FT-817 and the KX3.
The FT-817 is a cheap QRP radio with lots of phase noise and a receiver
that overloads easily.
The KX3 is a world class QRP radio that's clean enough to drive an
amplifier to legal limit power without throwing trash around to your
neighbors, and with a receiver that won't get blown away by a big signal
a block or so away. And when you add the 100W amp, you've got one of the
finest 100W rigs you can buy. In addition to all its other features.
