The KXFL3 decision is pretty easy. If you plan to use the KX3 only with simple antennas (random wires, loaded verticals, magnetic loops) and for casual QSOs, you don't really need it. Unwanted signals will be weak enough not to overload the DSP. If you plan to use the KX3, even sometimes, with good antennas (big, high), especially in urban environments or multi-transmitter sites like Field Day, or on crowded bands as in contests or DX pileups, then you should have the filter to protect the DSP from very strong, adjacent signals.
Another way of looking at it is, if the extra cost is not a hardship, get the filter. Some day you'll be glad you did. Either way, you're gonna love it! 73, /Rick On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 10:11 AM, Bill Frantz <[email protected]> wrote: > My wonderful wife said, "Go ahead and order a KX3.
