[Elecraft] Vedr: [KX2]

[Martin Storli - LA8OKA]

I disagree, the KX3 is not the answer, first of all, you can't build it your self, I would go for a KX1 with SSB (a KX2) with 5 watt and a tuner even if the performance where slightly less and it didn't have all the features of the KX3.
If the performance is important, yes, og for the KX3, but if you want that good old "I built this rig" feeling and SSB is required, a "KX2" would be great!!

Hi Glen,

I don't think we'd design a different portable SSB rig just to make it a through-hole-components kit. We'd either have to make it a lot larger than the KX3 or greatly reduce the number features and level of performance. We did this calculation a few years ago and the KX3 is the right answer :)
