[Elecraft] Flex 3000 or KX3

[4Z5TO]

Hi Steve,

Not a sage Elmer, but it would seem to me that the KX3 would bee your better
choice and this is why since you mentioned "travel"...

The Flex3000 is 90 more watts, but you will also need an outboard computer
of some sort to go with it, there is no other way to really control it from
my understanding- (maybe there's a smart phone/tablet app you could use).

While on the other hand, the KX3 is totally self-dependent requiring nothing
else except an antenna (the Flex will need an antenna too) as there is a
control panel attached to it - no extra laptop/desktop w/monitor required.

At any rate for either rig I would invest in a good antenna system so you
can take advantage of max wattage should you decide to do so. Amazingly
enough, you can make a lot of good contacts with 10 watts.

So it seems to boil down to this, how much traveling do you do where you
really expect to operate your rig?

73,
Douglas
