Sadly Dan, both /KX2 and /KX3... and /K3, /K2,/KX1, /KPA<anything>, 
KAT<anything> ... are all non-compliant for US hams.  All the K's belong 
to the US as ITU-assigned prefixes./KM6is as well, although Elecraft 
hasn't made one of those yet, however they are all valid US prefixes, 
and thus ineligible for indicators.

This is all pretty simple, there's a table you can get from "you know 
where," and the rest is really easy.  You won't [likely] go to jail or 
be [likely] fined for using your suggestion on the air, but if 
compliance with the rules matters to you, the rules are pretty clear.

73,
