[Elecraft] K3/100 vs KX3-KPA100

[Jim Stahl via Elecraft]

Ed,

One can have a heck of a lot of fun with just a KX3 in a warm DX 
location.

Check out (if you have access) my article on the topic in the Sept/Oct 
2014 National Contest Journal. This is not readily available online, 
but I could send you a scanned PDF.

I was able to fit my full station in half of a carry-on suitcase. I 
operated both from the beach and from the room. The room location was 
less than great in part due to electrical noise (wall warts power the 
internet routers for the rooms, among other things. On future trips I 
may not take stuff to operate from there, which would further reduce 
the stuff to carry.

So, if a CW-only, DX-and-contest oriented Op wanted a 100W transceiver /
panadapter  system from Elecraft for a 2nd QTH, what does the extra $700
buy?  What factors to take into account in making the choice?  One other
complication - now retired, I may try to do some holiday style DX
operating in easily-accessed tropical climes.  Is a K3 plus DC supply (2
pcs) much more of a traveling burden than a KX3 / KXPA100 plus power
supply (3 pcs)?



Thanks,


Ted, KN1CBR
