[Elecraft] KX3 2-meter module progress report

[Dave]

Thanks for the update Wayne,

For myself the main use will be to interface to a 24GHz to 144MHz 
transverter, so the issues arn't as great a problem.  Although having good 
dynamic range and adequate sensitivity would be useful.

The K3 is a bit of a big box to lug around, which is why the KX3 was a more 
attractive proposition as I already have a TS2000X to use at home.

I'd be less interested in using FM with the KX3 and KX3-2M as I already have 
a handheld radio that I use for occasionally operating through repeaters.

Cheers - Dave (G0DJA)

Hi Dave,

The KX3-2M module occupies less than one cubic inch -- that's about 1/15th 
the space occupied by the K144XV, the 2-m module used in the K3. Given this, 
we had to make some design tradeoffs. The KX2-2M's sensitivity is nearly as 
good as the K144XV's, but the latter has higher power output and somewhat 
greater dynamic range.
