[Elecraft] SSB Features of the KX2 & KX3 You May Have Overlooked...

[Walter Underwood]

Yeah, it is kind of weird that the KX3 specs still say it is a 12 W radio, but when you look at the right firmware release, it is a 15 W radio under certain circumstances.

The manual could use an update, since it has been almost exactly a year since the last firmware release.
