James, Having been a professional woodworker for 10 years I disagree. The difference between a woodworker and a carpenter is 1/64 of an inch. 1/8 of an inch is sloppy measurement and while that is sufficient for carpenters doing framing, it is not sufficient for finish carpenters and

Bill, Good ideas for mobiling. I am addressing some of that in this post: I like the KX3 because of the versatility of the radio and because with addition of the 2M module I have 160m-2m all mode operation. I originally bought a K3/10 since I was mainly going to run VHF and up using

I have a KX3 hooked to a SteppIR controller. All I had to do was create a Y cable to go from radio to the computer and the SteppIR controller. I hooked up to the SteppIRs Data In port (IIRC). The computer connection was for control of the KX3 (not the SteppIR). The KX3 was programmed to

Even with a Y cable from SteppIR the controller only listens to the signals. It does not ask for anything. So you have to have something that is sending out polling data regularly, which is why you need the computer. Alternatively if you us a Microham controller there is a good chance you

Wayne suggests the KX2 and KX3 as mobile rigs, and Jim pointed to a really nice installation for use by the passenger. They are both viable solutions. However, they do have some problems. I see mobile rigs being used in 3 ways: (1) Campground rigs for use when the vehicle is stopped. Here you
