I think your comparison misses the entire point of the KX3.  But in any case, you’re welcome to the 7300 I won’t be purchasing or throwing (all 10 lbs of it plus batteries)  into my backpack for a walk to the park  … :-)

> Compare that with a KX3 at $1850 -- $1250 for radio and tuner plus $600 for the PX3. You can save $200 by getting the kits. With the KX3/PX3 you get better specs, more portability, and PSK31/63 encode/decode[1]. But you only get 10 or so watts. Going to 100W will add $1180 (minus $50 for the kit), putting the KX3 system into an entirely different price category.
