Yes that roofing filter is where it’s at.  

I always recommend that to anyone if they are looking to purchase a KX3.

Plus, at least an early system schematic (excluding the KX3-2M two-meter module and PX3) is available.  That leaves the KXBC3 battery/RTC as the only mediocre component in the system.

It has become obvious that such is purposely and likely permanently withheld from most customers...a really remarkable and negative non-traditional policy for ham gear...especially gear directed to the QRP community.

I like to operate my QRP rigs, especially high performance Elecraft units, with antennas that complement the quality of the radio.  No Elecraft rig deserves the degradation of a HF telescoping antenna.  That's pure gimmickry, IMHO  :-)
