Obviously most of you never built something and had to add up the cost!
Getting 50-100w multi-mode, multi-band into a KX3 sized package for
under $500 - dreamers!
It cost nearly that just for the linear amp. I suppose you want the
KX3 with 50w amp for the same cost.
Not going to happen. Well maybe if its made by wooosengmoo in China
(hope I didn't do a swear word).
You get what you pay for - if you are lucky!
A 144/222/432/902/1296 dual-conversion SDR with 10w output would be a
novel idea. Direct IQ I/F via USB3. Make the bands modular slide in
cards with separate ANT connectors on the pcb. Make any two bands
full duplex so it usable for satellite work. ALL VFO-PLL
locked. Cost $2000-2500 and you will have a parade of folks lining
up for one. Maybe shoe-horn it into a box 50% of the volume of a K3s
with same control area.
Add on amplifiers for more power from many sources so no need to
reinvent that wheel.
