[Elecraft] KX3 instead of K2/100?

[Fred Smith]

Having both of those radios plus (2) K3's I feel your choice would indeed be
a good one. The KX3 is a much more advanced radio "SDR" with features the K2
didn't have make it the logical choice and with the coming options an even
better one.

In the last few months I have found myself using both my K3's one with a
KPA500/KAT500 and the other with an Alpha/Palstar HF-Auto less and less and
the KX3 more and more. With contacts that have surprised me at times working
against all QRO stations.....but I'm a new QRP operator only about 18 mo.
and learning all of mine are SSB contacts.

In fact I'm advising a newer operator/friend to buy one now, he had been
holding out for a K3 but would have taken him another year + to come up with
the money. I told him to buy the KX3 for now with all options then wait for
the soon to be released amp/tuner for it.

Call me crazy, but after many QRP contacts, both DX and US, I'm thinking I
could be happy with just a KX3 instead of my K2/100. Is that just nutty
thinking? Maybe just get a HFpacker amp for the occasional QRO boost. The
SDR aspects of the KX3 are really appealing to me.

Can't have it all...
