The really short answer is "all of them" and even more so if you are buying it factory assembled and tested. This is such a versatile rig, you will find something to do with every option. I got mine fully loaded except for the 2M transverter. The reason I didn't was that I already had an HT at double the transmit power of that. The reason I regret it is that it would be nice to have that capability in the same compact package. Also, CW on 2M is legal and possible with that board and not the HT. Didn't think of that and wish I did.
If you are on a budget the other short answer is, what do you want to do with your limited funds? OK buy those things not the other ones. You will regret that choice at least somewhat. When you add it all up, you will see that once you made the basic plunge of a KX3, why not a bit more? Another shorter answer is that fully loaded might take longer. OTOH, all that money you will have spent can collect interest in a certificate of deposit while you wait. J You didn't ask but I recommend a light in weight, 20W or less mag loop such as the alex loop. You will be amazed how easy it is to carry the KX3 with that and a 3AH hour bioenno battery Setup of everything (with PX3 and the antenna ) is about 5 minutes with a little practice. The loop needs only be a few feet above the ground and not counterpoise. This is really fantastic. I have even made contacts with this set up in the loft of my wood framed townhouse condo. You will likely want the Side KX to protect your rig while travelling. A soft bag like the Elecraft large bag is perfectly safe with the SideKX. -73- W1GCF ______________________________________________________________ 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]
