[Elecraft] RSGB RadCom Review of KX3

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear Elecrafters,

       Just to let you know that RadCom, the journal of RSGB has printed in
their April Issue a very favourable review of the KX3.   The review is
written by Peter Hart, G3SJX.    It is far too much to cover in this post
but the following is the conclusion which of course lacks the numbers from
this fine review:
 The KX3 is indeed a remarkable radio.    Ideally suited for those out and
about and conducting SOTA mountain top operations, it boasts an impressive
performance and is most effective in operation.   Very rich in features that
really are useful and well implemented, it has many similarities with its
larger sibling, the K3.   It will also perform well as a base station but
for primary base use a larger dedicated radio may be more convenient and
appropriate, particularly where there is a need to interface extensively to
ancillary units such as linears and PCs for data modes.   

 

      The report is highly complementary of the receiver section of the KX3
and I believe gives a very good insight into the radio performance.
Maybe in time Elecraft might obtain a copy of this review to include on
their site.

 

      Congratulations to Elecraft.     I have purchased a used KX3 from this
web site but have yet to see it.   It is with my brother in Connecticut. a
long way off.    I happily use the K3 with all its many accessories but am
now looking forward to some fun with the KX3 especially when I visit family
in the States.
