[Elecraft] KX2 - KX3

[Wayne Burdick]

Bill,

I think you'll really like the KX2 (I have one of the "other rigs," too, which I use for 2m/440). The KX2 has one-third the current drain, twice the power output, 5x larger display, IF DSP, ATU, DVR, built-in data modes, attached keyer paddle and a built-in mic. Oh, and it's half the size/weight.

Have fun!

73,
Wayne
