I was surprised that the KX2 ranked **18** positions BELOW the KX3. That shows the KX3 is a really remarkable world-class achievement. Plus, at least an early system schematic (excluding the KX3-2M two-meter module and PX3) is available. That leaves the KXBC3 battery/RTC as the only mediocre component in the system.
I decided not to buy a KX2 until and unless minimal technical information (schematic) was available. It has become obvious that such is purposely and likely permanently withheld from most customers...a really remarkable and negative non-traditional policy for ham gear...especially gear directed to the QRP community. Operating HF hand-held has not had any valuable application since the WWII SCR-536/BC-611 handie-talkie. I like to operate my QRP rigs, especially high performance Elecraft units, with antennas that complement the quality of the radio. No Elecraft rig deserves the degradation of a HF telescoping antenna. That's pure gimmickry, IMHO :-) 73, Mike / KK5F -----Original Message----- >From: Wayne Burdick <n...@elecraft.com> >Sent: Jul 27, 2017 9:03 PM > >Similar to our lab measurements.
