Jim, Let me add a couple of other PX3 observations from the Dayton Hamvention: - USB port on the side for a keyboard - for digital mode support - The device will act like a terminal for digital modes (although I did not see it run in this manner) - I thought display brightness was fully adequate, but perhaps not for sunlight - Full KX3 integration: shift a signal into the center of the PX3 display and the KX3 would QSY seamlessly, etc.
