Four months ago or so I sold my KX3/KXPA100 combination to purchase a used K3/100. There were a couple of factors. First of all, I had used my KX3 kit for NPOTA extensively, and I was done with that operation. Second, I had purchased an IC-706Mk2G and installed it mobile, permanently. Third, I wanted to install various accessories to operate contests that simply were not compatible with the KX3.
I wanted to use N1MM+ software to run FSK RTTY. I wanted to be able to swap between digital and phone operation without having to unplug and re-plug. I wanted to use a MicroHam microKeyer, which wasn't compatible with the KX3. Finally, I wanted a smaller desktop package for home station operation and a cleaner permanent install. I also didn't want to daisy chain amplifiers to go > 100w (KX3 to KXPA100 to QRO amp). In short, my operating style changed and thus my equipment did to. The fact is that there are some accessories and software which are just not compatible with the KX3. And while it may be possible rig up something and 'make it work', I'd rather just use gear that works as intended. Still 100% Elecraft, though! - WN8U ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
