[Elecraft] KX3 Amplifier

[Phil Hystad]

I think the price must be less than the new amp from TenTec (or, did TT mean Tom Terrific?).

The TenTec amp has a screen, buttons, and so on where as I got the impression that the brick style amp mentioned for the KX3 would have very little controls on it and that all displayed information would appear on the KX3 screen instead.  Just a guess as I think that is the way I would do it (of course, this limits the UI for other non-Elecraft rigs).

73, phil, K7PEH
