For sale to fund purchase of KX3:
Elecraft KX1, serial number 1100, with KXB3080 and KXAT1 modules and
manuals. This KX1 covers 20, 30, 40, and 80m and is fully functional. A
photo can be viewed here:

I am asking $400 shipped within CONUS.
I've recently purchased a Nifty KX3 desk stand, and I'm -really-
pleased with the product!
I've viewed the KX3's spindly, fragile legs and the resulting
viewing angle of the front panel as the one short-coming of
the radio. The stand makes the display and controls -much-
more pleasant to use.

What is the issue with microHAM virtual ports? If you trying to
run both a logger on the CAT port and a second application on the
2nd CAT port, the second application must be low priority and do
minimum polling. Remember, the combined data rate of the serial
port is only 38,400 bps maximum.

Maybe I can shed some light on this.
Win4k3 offers a rich interface to the radio as well as mirroring what goes on

This is most likely because you're running 64-bit Linux and the k3util

The NR generally removes ALL random noise, meaning that the rcvr is
