[Elecraft] KX3

[David Anderson]

Ed,

Yes I do look forward to the 2m module for the KX3. At least I will have some time to play around with the radio on shortwave before then, once I get some antennas that is. I have been QRT for a number of years and this is me getting started again.

Hope my email is in plain enough text for the reflector now, have moved over to another mail  client on the iPad.

It cost $388 and $199 shipping.  US Postal Priority Mail was only $80, but they had to hand deliver it to the PO, for which they charged me $199.  The actuator is working nicely, but glad I will not have to do regular business with this firm.

The current de facto standard IF radio for mw is the FT-817.  I wrote an article for the MUD conference last year showing the application of the KX3-2M as the new "best" IF radio.  Time will tell.
