I know that this has probably been discussed before, but just how bad is 
the K3 on 6m/10m?
Hopefully, the KX3 doesn't suffer this fate as well.

It's one thing to spend another $160 on the 6m/10m preamp, but it also 
requires the KXV3A at another $120.
Yes, that would also provide the ability to use a second antenna, have 
access to the IF out and support a transverter.
The most likely of these features that I would use is the transverter 
output to get on 222 MHz.
But there's so little activity on that band in this area for some 
reason, even in contests, that I question the expense of the transverter 
and antenna.
