[Elecraft] K3 - removable face plate

[Bill Frantz]

I'm beginning to think about replacing the Icom 706M2G in my 
4Runner. -- Using a K3 has spoiled me. A small operation face 
plate will be a big advantage for any radio that I install. From 
Elecraft I will look at the KX3 and a "remote rig" K3, but both 
may be larger than the available space in the center console and 
I'm not sure the K3 will fit under the passenger seat.

BTW - I do mostly HF SSB and VHF FM from the 4Runner. As a 
passenger, I could also operate digital. CW is a dream, but my 
first (and currently only) CW QSO was just a couple of weeks ago 
and I definitely need more seasoning. Ten watts on 80M with a 
screwdriver antenna is very marginal, so 100W seems the next step.

Does anyone have any advice?

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
