[Elecraft] Future KX3/KX2 accessories?

[Bill Frantz]

The 2M option for the KX3 supports transmit at about 3W output. 
See: <http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3-2M%20FAQ.htm>

Let me add, there are a lot of new hams with tech licenses. Many 
of them came to ham radio from an interest in community services 
ARES/RACES etc. They primarily use 2M and 70cm FM repeaters and 
simplex. It would be good for the hobby to have a radio which 
supported these FM uses and opened the possibility of other 
modes and bands. The Yaesu 8900 almost meets this requirement, 
except it only does FM. There is a very useful tech SSB subband 
on 10M which this radio just misses supporting.

I'm sure that some of them would want a high quality, US built, 
radio that met their needs plus a little. Call it, "The gateway radio".
