Just an observation on the KX2 vs KX3:
Elecraft is still making KX3's so I'm guessing they do not see the KX2
as replacing the KX3, but more of augmenting the product line.
Exactly right. The KX2 works ONLY the HF bands, 80-10M. It's about half
the size and weight of a KX3, is optimized for backpacking, has fewer
features. It comes only factory-built, and costs about 1/3 less than a
factory-built KX3.
The KX3 works all bands 160-6M, and can work 2M with the transverter
option. It is larger and has more features than a KX2. I loaned my
KX3/KXPA100 to AF6RT and W6JTI for a backpacking expedition to a rare 6M
grid, and we used that combo for mobile operation during the recent 7QP
(7th area QSO Party) expedition to seven counties in NV.
