[Elecraft] KX3 pedestrian mobile?

[Walter Underwood]

I’ve thought this “Dozer Chest Harness” might work for the KX3, depending on where the straps are.

The 2m module in the KX3 is probably best for SSB, CW or other non-FM modes. It is hard to beat a modern 2m HT for 2m FM, either on price or performance. A Yaesu FT-60R costs less and puts out about double the power.
