I'd wait until David VK5DGR gets the FreeDV bit rate lower which will improve the Eb/n0 requirements and bring the performance closer to that of SSB. If you're not already following along on David's blog it's worth a read (http://www.rowetel.com/) his writing style is easy going and he explains

What I run into is I enjoy building more than operating. So once I build them they tend to not get used much.  My KX3 sat covered for nearly a year before I sent it to my son (permanent loan). I built the K2 becuse I wanted a rig I could tinker and mod and enjoy longer. Original

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Power Issue

Normally, I do not respond to most of these issues; Don is an expert and gives great advice. What you last wrote shows that you NEED to do a TX Gain Calibration. Your external power meter shows full output, so the K3s meter ckts need to be re-calibrated to agree with the ext. meter reading

Re: [Elecraft] K3/K3s; Digital modes, specifically DV

While the mcHF has some digital audio circuitry, I don't believe it provides a digital voice mode. FreeDV is a very narrow-band (1.1 kHz) digital voice mode using the open-source Codec2, developed by VK5DGR. One can run FreeDV without a computer using the Rowetel SM1000 adapter

Linas, great review and answer. I also owned both. I found the T-1 to be fine; but for portable, just one more piece of equipment and more wires. I have the KX2 and have used in the station so far and its tuner is super for the station needs. Once it warms up will hit the trails. The T-1

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 ATU question

Dave, Pretty much the same to my experience. I have the T-1 for some 10 years and the KX-2 with the ATU installed for some 1 month, :). May be too early to make judgements but both tuners were equally good in tuning the random wire of some 9 m, also a 12m length vertical dipole fed by the 400
