I believe he said he had just passed his Technician license, somewhat 
limiting on HF.  I'll agree with all the rest, KX3 is not the 
recommended radio.  A large group of hams provide comm support for the 
Western States Endurance Run and the Tevis Cup Endurance Ride on parts 
of the historic Western States Trail from Sacramento to Salt Lake City 
in the Sierra Nevada.  Very rugged territory, we use a lot of repeaters, 
but simplex VHF works very well with HT's over 5-7 mi ranges.
