I disagree, the KX3 is not the answer, first of all, you can't build it your
self, I would go for a KX1 with SSB (a KX2) with 5 watt and a tuner even if the
performance where slightly less and it didn't have all the features of the KX3.
If the performance is important, yes, og for the KX3, but
I happen to know a company that makes such a product, but it has 10w max
output, not 5w. The company is Elecraft, and the product is the K2/10,
with tuner and SSB.

I agree with Martin, the SSB module added to the existing KX1. The KX1 being a
builders kit radio now, the space inside may be at a premium, so the SSB module
could be a pre made one as surface mount components, so it could fit inside,
without making a new case etc?
Is this feasible?

Well, as much as some would like Elecraft to make a KX2 it looks
like it's not going to happen. Wayne has said as much.
Even if as many as 100 people wanted such a rig, it's likely that it
would not be fiscally feasible for Elecraft to market one.
But, if some adventurous person
Ray,
The most feasible way would be a retrofit surface mount prebuilt SSB module and
its interface requirements for the existing KX1.
People still build the radio but simply add the SSB module IF they want it.
Like everything..publicise an expression of interest request, see what
happens.

Giuliano made an SSB board for his K1 :).
The K1 is a great trail friendly radio, and it has a lot more mod
space than the KX1!

The best suggestion I have seen in this thread is for the K2 with KSB2
option. It is an off-the-shelf kit using thru-hole construction. full
160 through 10 meter bands is possible with the addition of the K160RX
and K60XV options. The K2 is not too large for portable operation, and
it is a
I use my K2/10 with a LiFePO4 battery for SOTA activations. It has the
KAT3 although when I use the Alexloop I bypass the ATU. It also has the
SSB module which I've never used, no mic. Admittedly, I'm somewhat
orthopedically-challenged so my activations tend to be on the tame side,
but it
Good idea! But I want 80 m and 10 m included as well!
A kit in the tradition of the K1, K2 and KX1, a KX1 form faktor with built in
antenna tuner, but with SSB would be a welcome adition to the Elecraft line!
