I assume you mean launches... And yes, but only if you can return the
complete KX3 with the serial number intact ;)

Your KX3 warranty will be void if you:
- use any sort of Van de Graaff antenna
- operate while sky-diving (OK), but forget to deploy the chute when a KP1
calls CQ (not OK)
- operate in the state of California while simultaneously driving, eating, and
writing .html
- out of nostalgia for solder, remove and reinstall all the SMD components
- empirically investigate the effect of condiments on option modules

George,
I agree with Ray. This radio was designed to be a take it with you field
radio. Based on the many treads from people doing SOTA, camping, hiking and
other trips, it the design had been field tested many, many times. If there was
a flaw it would have been made known by now. Over the years I have had the
FT-817 and still have one, IC-703, recently for a short period of time the new
Argonaut VI, KX1, K1, and about a half dozen other radios. None are totally
safe from me or anyone else when it comes to dropping or getting wet or being
sat on or other weird things that Murphy Law will set upon them. I feel very
comfortable taking the KX3 to any and all hostel places without fear or
question. The radio is build good enough for me, and I am very picky about
which radios I will keep or get again. The FT-817 N or none-N is one. The Arg
VI is nice but way, way over priced for what you get and I will never get a
second now I have tried it. The 703 is not bad, but like the 817 some h
a
ve had final failures. The KX1 and K1 are nice but limited in scope of what
they can do. And I can probably add to the list but I hope I am getting my
point of view across. There are no total Murphy Law proof radios. But this one
come close enough for me not to be concerned bout the price and hurting
something expensive.
2 cents over...back under my rock.. Have a great day
