Drew, KX3 is not the best radio for multi-multi environment. The radio 
automatically protects itself by switching preamp off if 59+20 signal 
appears on the band. With even stronger adjacent signal the radio 
engages attenuation. Blocking dynamic range of the radio is not for 
multi-multi. You would be much better off with several K3. They are 
probably still the best choice for this kind of operation both TX and RX 
wise.
