[Elecraft] K3 vs KX3

[Gary Smith]

Thank you all for the replies to my question, not one "wise guy" 
reply at all and that is refreshing. 

I do understand the allure of a very small radio that does it all and 
does it well; I have a spud gun I use to get my antenna wires over 
the tallest trees when I go camping and I usually operate QRP or 
close to it to conserve the deep cycle battery. I have though found 
the K3 itself to be a really small radio and works conveniently and 
is not an anchor. That said, it would be unwieldy to take a K3 on a 
backpacking trip and it appears the KX3 would be a fine companion and 
one with ears like a bat.

Amazing to see a complete SDR HF radio that is smaller than my old 
FT-208R. Amazing indeed.

Thanks for the thoughts.

73,
