There is some sort of myth about the KX3 not being rugged. It was designed for trail use. With around 10,000 sold, I haven’t heard any reports of problems with ruggedness.
My KX3 has fallen hard enough to bend the BNC connector and it works fine. I would expect the KX2 to be slightly more rugged because the boards are smaller. That’s about it. Of course, the SideKX panels provide extra protection for the knobs. That’s handy. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On May 19, 2016, at 8:47 AM, Erlend Grimseid <[email protected]> wrote: > > Looks cool.
