The KX3 is a portable radio *and* and SDR.

The KX3 is a portable radio, and a mobile radio :)

We haven't finished the KXPA100 amp/ATU yet, but it's being designed  
with mobile use in mind. You could put the amp in the trunk or under a  
seat, for example.

The advantage of using the KX3 - KXPA100 combo is that when you arrive  
at your location, you can take the KX3 with you -- and it's an entire  
medium-power radio (up to 12 W) that's the size of other mobile rigs'  
control heads.
