YES! In addition to being a great mobile and fixed station rig, it's a
backpacker's dream! Last summer, I loaned my KX3/KXPA100 with a 20Ah
LiFePO4 battery to AF6RT and W6JTI, who dragged it up a 2 mile trail
with a 1,000 ft gain in elevation to light up a rare 6M grid. They were
also dragging an antenna, coax, a computer, water, and lunch. At the end
of the day, they still had power left in that battery.

Beyond that, the KX3:
- is about 1/5th the size
- is about 1/5th the weight
- consumes probably 1/10th as much RX-mode current
- has an internal battery
- has an attached keyer paddle
- has built-in stereo audio and CW/RTTY/PSK31 text decode with a PC
- works with integrated peripherals (PX3 and KXPA100) that can be left at
your fixed station when traveling
So if you're operating portable, it's an apples/oranges comparison.
