[Elecraft] New KX2?

[Walter Underwood]

There is some sort of myth about the KX3 not being rugged. It was designed for trail use. With around 10,000 sold, I haven’t heard any reports of problems with ruggedness.

My KX3 has fallen hard enough to bend the BNC connector and it works fine. 

I would expect the KX2 to be slightly more rugged because the boards are smaller. That’s about it.

Of course, the SideKX panels provide extra protection for the knobs. That’s handy.
