Doug, I agree with you that the battery and weight is important but when you say that you been at the same situation with KX3 I expect some comper. Heard stations, reports from other hams, anttena and else from the practical work. I think that lot of us who travell are interesting in that experience and think to switch from KX3 to KX2. I spent last three month travell from Europe to Canada and USA with KX3 and have lot of fun, not have problem with Airport security at any airport.
