HI Gary: One aspect of the KX3 is that you can get a bare-bones version… at $900.. and you would have a very functional portable QRP rig. And, as finances permit, you can add the options. That way you don’t have to pony up the entire $3K at one time.
And, even with the bare bones kit, you’d still have the latest firmware at the time of production, and a quite capable multi-mode, multi-band transceiver. 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3#211 > On Apr 25, 2016, at 5:21 PM, NC3Z Gary <[email protected]> wrote: > > True a fully kitted KX3 station will be about $3000, but the KX3 is > really a different animal.
