Hi Dave, The KX3-2M module occupies less than one cubic inch -- that's about 1/15th the space occupied by the K144XV, the 2-m module used in the K3. Given this, we had to make some design tradeoffs. The KX2-2M's sensitivity is nearly as good as the K144XV's, but the latter has higher power output and somewhat greater dynamic range.
I think if you were trying to win a VHF contest in a strong-signal environment, you might want heavier weaponry. But after the war, if your side lost and you had to run to the hills with only what you would carry, a 2-pound KX3 with 2 meter capability would be an excellent choice. 73, Wayne N6KR "Dave" <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone done any tests of sensitivity/selectivity and IM3 performance yet > please?
