[Elecraft] I wish Elecraft would make this radio

[Phil Hystad]

I have the KX1 and the KX3 and I would not call the KX3 huge compared to the KX1, I would say that it was larger.  Huge would be maybe comparing a K3 to a KX1.

Having said that I am almost always leaning towards the KX3 for QRP and portable work now.  No, I will not sell the KX1 because I like it and there are good reasons I want to use that as well (still).  But, if the KX1 had a larger screen and handled 80 thru 10 and maybe one or two other more modern features then it would be so close to the KX3 that it would not be a good decision for product lineup.  The KX1 having its special place at the lower end of available QRP rigs is a good marketing objective.  Oh, I also have a Norcal 40A but it does collect dust now-a-days.
