[Elecraft] Future KX3/KX2 accessories?

[Phil Hystad]

I have the digital recorder option on my K3.  But, when I use my KX2 (or, the KX3 I used to own)
they are usually in the field sometimes using a picnic bench if nearby or otherwise the tailgate of
my pickup truck with the portable antenna somewhere not far away.  Can’t imagine in that
scenario ever doing anything with a sound card especially when all I do is CW.  Certainly I never
have a computer with me.  Well, I will often have my iPad but if that is with me I am reading a
novel inbetween QSOs.

After all, I sort of that that was the design goal of something like the KX2 and even the KX3,
minimal, small form-factor, portable operations or even hiking with it (which is something I
do not usually do).
