I know this list is a bit biased, however I am trying to set up my base station, I currently own a KX3 and an ICOM 7100, and I have an antenna that is an inverted V diapole, (Diamon W8010), which is hosted 6m up in the air.
My problem is I live nearby a lot of interference due to high voltage power lines, now, my dilemma is I want to get rid of my ICOM 7100, and I have to replace it with a base station, so is the KX3 with the addons good enough for base station op, or shuold I sell that and get a K3S perhaps a KX2 for mobile ops? I would like to do SOTA really, and have a portable handy, I am only allowed to transmit for the moment 10W any way, so k3s/10 should be enough to start with, however I have a bucketload of noise, my KX3 is under going repairs and I wont know when it will be back,hopefully its not too expensive as I will def blow my budget over many times. So any body here have any experience on running their KX3 as their main base station? if so how well does it do? Would a k3s be better? what advantage would I have with the K3S (baseline) compared to an upgraded KX3 (ATU, 2m, Roof filters fitted) I am worried about sensitivity, and ability to pick weak signals, as I have very little room to fit larger an better antennas so I have to kind of work with what I have.
