I see a lot of traffic about the K3 and very little regarding the KX3.
Patience, just wait.
I am wondering why that is. Is the KX3 just that much more problem free or is the K3 that much more popular?
Neither. Elecraft has an impressive portfolio of products. New firmware for the KX3 will increase the mass of KX3 postings. New firmware for the K3 will likewise increase the mass of K3 postings. In the last month, they have announced a new super-low noise synthesizer for the K3, that's probably what you're seeing, it has been "all K3, all the time" recently. The K2 is a mature transceiver. Occasionally, someone will have a problem or a question and for a short period, the K2 may dominate the list. Likewise with the K1 ... we recently had a flurry of activity over the current and future unavailability of 4-band modules for it.
Sometimes the list will be tilted to some particular ham usage or technique, such as diversity reception or EME or various digital modes, and not so much toward a specific product.
It is very helpful if, when posting about a specific product, you put that product's ID in the subject line. Many people on the list filter their email into separate folders since they may not care about some products. It is also customary to end your post with name or nickname and call sign, if you have one. Mine end with a shameless plug for the Cal QSO Party.
