[Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

[Phil Wheeler]

Joe,

Crucial difference is that the KX3 system is 
modular and the barefoot KX3 can be used very 
effectively battery operated for SOTA, camping and 
the like. I suspect the IC-7300 was not designed 
for power efficiency :-)

So I see them as a very different class of rig.

A lot of folks are saying that why spend the money for a KX3 when you can have a panadapter, 100 watts, etc built in for much less money than the KX3/PX3/KPA100 combination.
