I agree with Barry, I own both the KX3 and KX1 (and K2), an updated KX1 would be great ! I love the little KX1 and would never sell it. And it does go with me more often on camping/kayak trips than the KX3 does. That being said.....I guess we'll just have to wait and see what develops at the skunk works in Aptos ! 73 de Ed N7EDK
