[Elecraft] The K3 and the future

[Gary - NC3Z]

I think the KX3 form factor works out well as a home station. The face 
is larger than a lot of other radios and in my opinion the ergonomics 
are better than the K3. My KX3 station (KX3 and KXPA100) is my second 
home station to my FTDX5000MP and the the station I take to my second 
QTH when we go there.

I have been through many current rigs for this use until I settled on 
the KX3, primarily due to the great specs, but also due to the super 
flexibility. The one feature I also wanted was something that could run 
of batteries for emergency use and the KX3 is vastly frugal compared to 
anything else out there.

Don't discount the KX3 setup as a great home rig.
