[Elecraft] KX3 questions

[Ronald Nutter]

I am thinking about purchasing a KX3.  I can afford the KX3 but probably 
not any of the options at this point.  Is this worth doing and then 
adding the modules as I can afford them or should I wait until I can 
afford the whole ball of wax ?

It looks I may be in San Francisco on business for close to a week in 
the near future.  Is it worth considering having a KX3 shipped to my 
hotel and then working on it at night ?  If so, what tools should I 
either pack in my luggage or try to buy locally ?

Thanks,
Ron
