[Elecraft] Could you make a Element/vibration hardend VX3?

[Walter Underwood]

It isn't a delicate wallflower, but it is a  pretty expensive and complicated way to get 3W on 2m FM. And it isn't really designed for general-purpose 2m use. Will it have automatic repeater offsets on 2m? Maybe not.

With a dual-band mobile, you can use a high-gain 440 antenna. You'll also have at least 10X the power that the KX3 could produce.

A 2M mobile radio is under $200, and a basic dual-band mobile is under $400.
