As an alternative, might you consider a small amplifier? TAPR is
offering a 20w HF/6m amplifier called the Pennywhistle.

drives with 1/4w and runs on 12vdc.
An external amp in a clamp-on case that fits on the bottom might be a good
Solved the bug! It's a sorde code problem. iOS dose not support jpeg2000
compression mode used in many PDF files and perhaps alzo in elecraft mauals
files ( didn't checked at the moment ). It seems, as i read on the web, to

Ok, Eric, you asked for it. Ready? Here we go:
How about adding Bluetooth stereo audio, microphone, keyboard, and serial

The HFPack crowd would like this to, as I opined earlier. Stick radio in

I built up a KPA500 kit last night and thought people might want to hear
about it, especially those who are eagerly awaiting their own KPA500 kit.
Although I was told the assembly should take a couple hours, I spent 5.5
hours, going somewhat slowly and taking notes for feedback to Elecraft:
The so-called atomic clocks use the 60 KHZ signal
from WWVB at the NBS transmitter site north of Fort
Collins, CO.
The signal level from the station got a bit of a boost
awhile back when the PA from the decommissioned
100 KHZ LORAN C transmitter in ND(?) was moved
to Ft. Collins
Sorry, guys, the KX3's internal ATU isn't going to be accessible for
patching through an external amp. It will safely handle 12 W (max KX3
power on most bands), but 20 W is pushing it.
I routinely work the world with 10 W SSB and marginal antennas, hence
the KX3's 10-W nominal power-output
