I'd take the K3/100, Lou -- assuming you have no
plans to operate QRP portable away from AC power.
The K3's receiver is more robust and there should
be no thermal issues if you decide to use any 100%
duty cycle modes. Plus one box is easier to deal
with, in terms of cables and such.

I already own both Don. My question was more theoretical in nature.
There is a practical side to my question as well, as I am deciding whether
to take my K3/100 or my KX3/KXPA100 combo on a vacation trip. Size and
weight is roughly comparable, and I have no intention to operate without AC
power. O
Suspect mostly packaging. I've wondered the same thing.

The KAT3 tuner fits inside the K3 (with and without the KPA3) while the
KXAT100 tuner fits inside the KPA100 amplifier.
Order the one which fits inside whichever unit you have. Two very
different form factors - these are not stand-alone tuners.

(KXPA100 lists 5:1 on 160 and 6, unsure about the KAT3).
What are the differences between the two tuners, if any?
