Hello All, Not an Elecraft owner yet but making plans to be one soon. I’m just starting the research.
A close friend is all Elecraft and I'm impressed. Even meeting the company owners and designers at Dayton has me sold on them. My QRP rig today is an FT817 which I love (I have been known to sleep with it under my pillow lol) and have had a few memorable QRP mini-expiditions on vacation trips to Central America, France and around the province. Currently my primary base rig is a Kenwood TS590 no complaints about it so far. I have been approached by prospective buyers with reasonable offers to sell both these rigs. So I am giving serious thought to using this opportunity to get a KX3 and the KXPA100 100W amplifier/tuner combo to replace my TS590 as a base radio. I would then use the KX3 on its own instead of the FT817 for my QRP trips. I am playing now with the HF digital modes such as FreeDV, PSK31, JT65, WSPR so hopefully CAT and audio interfacing to a computer is easy. Today I use a SignaLink USB. I like the idea of getting to know one radio really well (the kx3) by using it as my primary rig on the road AND at home (maybe even in the mobile at some point). I would then save my pennies for the PX3 and even a KX2 for lighter travels at some point. Is it safe to assume i won't be loosing any performance by making this chance and even gain some? Hopefully no trolls on this group.
