I sold my '817 the week after I returned from Dayton and saw the KX3 for the first time. 2nd step was to get a KX3 on order. Main complaint with the Yaesu was its Rx. I never dared to hook it to a big antenna. 2nd complaint was the horrendous ½A current drain in receive.
Even if it WERE to become an option, the LAST color I'd want on the KX3 screen would be blue. Save the multi-colors for Christmas trees and leave the KX3 screen alone. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Edward R Cole Sent: Friday, January 29, 2016 12:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Fwd: Yaesu 817ND vs Elecraft KX3 Differences for Portable Use I owned a FT-817 from the first year they offered it until the KX3 came out.
