On some of the early 2M models the printing on the metal shield was
backwards to that shown in the manual. I made the mistake of
installing my shield per the photo in the manual and got the shield
on backwards which partially shorted the output transistor resulting
in low RF output

We're already testing the 2nd prototype of the 2-m module. I'll post
an update when we have hard data.

It's definitely still available. I bought one last week. I got mine from an
estate dealer (never used in the original sealed box) but HRO sells it as
well.

Are you referring to the THP HL-45B? It is listed as $449.95 with HRO and I
guess
that some would say that is not expensive at all. After all, price is
relative. Paying
$450 for 45 watts may sound better than if one paid $450 for a bottle of table
red.

I can only second that. The announced built-in 2m module is a must for
me to complete the KX3 as a portable and mobile radio.
Anybody else? Maybe Eric and Wayne would reconsider the 100W priorities :-)

I recently posed this question to Wayne and he replied they think it
will be about May as the engineer for the project is currently
working on the KXPA-100.
What question?
I must have missed the Thread. And
Yes, after the KXPA100 and KXAT100 are released. Probably closer to Late Q2 as
some of the same engineering team are working on both projects..

It is definitely in the works. We'll be testing the second prototype
soon.

Any preliminary specs on the 2M module. All I can recall seeing is 3 watts
output.. Will FM run at 3 watts or will power need to be reduced as in your
transverters? What will be current requirement?

All numbers are TBD at this point.

Hi, Ed.
Wayne mentioned yesterday (on the KX3 Yahoo Group) that the 2M module for
the KX3 is planned to use a 6M IF. This means there will be no LO switching,
as the base rig will tune 50-54 MHz to cover 144-148 on 2M. They hope to
have a prototype ready for trial soon, possibly around the end of
Great news! I'm planning on placing my order when the 2m board
becomes available. I'm also super excited about the KX3, but I don't have
a pressing need to be in the first run this time :). A KX3 w/ 2m in time
for the June contests, however, would be fab!
