Wayne,
OK, I was not saying a manual would not be useful or appreciated,
only that basic info to start using the KX3-2M is already
available. I am using mine on SSB and local FM channels. I even
added the local NOAA wx channel at 162.475 MHz without any more
information than what is in the KX3 manual (easier to do using the
memory editor sw).
Certainly, safe handling of the credit-card sized module is important
so careful reading of the installation is advised. Even as a field
tester, I made a simple mistake that resulted in 0.3w vs 3.0w RF
output. Fortunately no permanent harm came from that. I'm getting
great on-air reports using the KX3-2M. Next is adding a 30w
amplifier (RFC-2-23).
I'll be interested in seeing the new 2m manual.

TO-220 PA transistor tab to the cabinet - less than an hour
procedure. All covered in the installation manual.
