[Elecraft] KX2 battery in PX3

[Mark]

Re "a KX2 doesn't have RX IQ out...But you knew that when you bought it, Mark -- Right?"

Actually that is one of the reasons I have held off buying one for a while.  I am one of the guys whose KX3 became their home station.  When I am portable, simple is better, so for me, a KX2 may be fine as it is.  I was simply fascinated by Ed's PX3 with an internal battery which simplifies portable setup, making portable PX3 more feasible.
