Interesting read Wayne. So to sum up, the only areas the FT-817 beats the KX3 is that it has a better speaker and you can change the colour of the backlit display :)
That would be easy - put a better speaker in the KX3, and give it an adjustable blue/green or amber backlit display…and then the FT-817 will have nothing over and above the KX3 :) Come to think of it…the KX3 with a blue backlit display would look cool 73 John, ZS5J On 28 Jan 2016, at 11:51 PM, Wayne Burdick [email protected] [KX3] <[email protected]> wrote: Interesting comparison between the KX3 and the 817 by M0JCQ, a serious portable operator.
