[Elecraft] Could this operate on a motorcycle?

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I would full agree

I briefly considered a putting a KX3 in my Jeep, but then figured it would probably
be distracting and not get used that much (because of being distracting)

I used to ride years ago and would not want the added distraction on a motorcycle.

My own opinion - use a VHF 6m/2m mobile made for such an environment.
If the distances involved are small, a  5 watt "hand held" on a
belt/chest mount will do.  A lot cheaper than the KX3 - and save the KX3
for home /portable use.  No need to bash a $1500+ radio on a bike!
My own opinion.
