We had three (3) K3s operating at K7S (Salmoncon 2007), last July.  Yes, 
they were field tester rigs.  They worked well for us.

We used a large battery and had no trouble keeping them going as long as 
we liked.  I also took mine to a Field Day site last year and let some 
of the folks operate it for a few hours.

Currently, the Ducie Island DXpedition is K3-equipped.  This is 
definitely portable/camping-on-the-beach operation :-)
