[Elecraft] KX3 instead of K2/100?

2013-05-25 Thread Stephen Roberts
Call me crazy, but after many QRP contacts, both DX and US, I'm thinking I could be happy with just a KX3 instead of my K2/100. Is that just nutty thinking? Maybe just get a HFpacker amp for the occasional QRO boost. The SDR aspects of the KX3 are really appealing to me. Signed, Can't have it

Steve, The KX3 will give you about the same output as a K2/10, and with the KXPA3 amp and tuner soon to be available, you can have a 100 watt station if you want, but it will also drive your HFpacker amp. The KX3 offers several advantages over the K2 (IMHO). All modes - CW, SSB, Data Modes
