So I'm really pleased with my KX3 (kit) that came to life recently.
The radio performs very nicely, and, as I've pointed out elsewhere
(blog.aa6e.net), it has volumetric efficiency of some 20 X my Ten-Tec
Orion. The packaging is almost too clever for my ancient fingers to
deal with. [Changing the AA cells is no great fun. Not that I will
use them much.]
Here is a minor complaint. The KX3 utility for Linux is not well
labelled on the web site. It is not clear which Linux systems it is
compatible with, and it is definitely not stated that it is
incompatible with 64-bit Linux. I found this out the hard way. On
reflection, it's no great surprise. Still -- good labelling is a good
thing. I would have appreciated a source code distribution, but
failing that I can run that other OS that starts with W when I have
to.
73 to all
