Has anyone tried using a RM Italy HLA 305 or 305V with a K2, KX2, K3 or
KX3? The review in QST a few months ago was positive. Over 200 watts
out for less than $700 (not counting an antenna tuner).

Using 15 W out from my K3-S (Max power for your KX3 as you indicated) my KPA500
pushes out 330 Watts … Why bother with 100W when you can have 330 ?? There is
however a difference in purchase price $2k vs $800 (aprox) - and if you need a
tuner that will be another $700.
Sorry to say I kept the KX3 for mobile/QRP and just got a K3S, KAT500 and
KPA500.
Enjoy your dilemma

Have had my KX3 for a couple of weeks and love it. Biggest issue I have is even
at 15 watts, unless conditions are right, I am having issues making DX
contacts. The KX3 is connected to an Alpha Delta 80-6 meter fan dipole. I have
been thinking about getting the KXPA 100 but wonder whether it will be enough
of a bang for the buck. I use this at a summer cottage, at home I started with
a Kenwood Ts-590SG and eventually upgraded the rig with an Ameritron 811H to
get more punch. I have no problems getting picked out of pileup so now...
So my question is for those of you that have gone the upgrade path to
KXPA100... Did you get enough punch or are you wishing you had gone with more
power? I am not really too crazy about going all the way to the KPA500...
