HI Gary:

One aspect of the KX3 is that you can get a bare-bones version… at $900.. and you would have a very functional portable QRP rig.  And, as finances permit, you can add the options.  That way you don’t have to pony up the entire $3K at one time.

And, even with the bare bones kit, you’d still have the latest firmware at the time of production, and a quite capable multi-mode, multi-band transceiver.
