Yes, 2m is one of the most popular bands for SOTA activations which I guess
the KX3 would be popular for. It would also take maximum advantage of the
all mode capability. Whilst 70cm would be nice, I guess it would be
expecting too much for there to be space for two internal transverter
modules.

The other thing that would be a huge selling point in Europe if it could be
designed in is support for the 4m band. There is no radio that covers 4m
apart from a couple of cheap Chinese FM handies. A lot of countries have 4m
now and again it is a popular band for SOTA activations. I don't know
whether it is feasible to push the upper frequency limit from 50MHz to 70MHz
but I am sure there are people who would buy one for that reason alone, if
it were possible.
