[Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3

[Ignacy]

I own both K3 and KX3.

K3 is mature radio. Works very well. But the design is a few years old. 

KX3 is new radio with new design. Not mature. For instance, it has
capability for extra receiver + digital work out of I/Q lines, but the
software is not quite available or reliable yet. NB and NR are work in
progress. Speech processor is not yet as good as in K3. The contest programs
cannot easily send CW without extra hardware (with exceptions).  etc, etc.
But with ALS-600 modified for low drive, one can add 600W to KX3 for $1k
(used price).
 
IMHO, KX3 will look much more refined in a year.
