[Elecraft] Advice on K3 versus KX3

[Keith Onishi]

It is unto your operation preferences.
Listening CW in crowded situation like contesting.  K3 is much better than KX3.
Operating in digital mode, you can neither listen to receiving signals nor monitor your own transmitting audio with KX3.

I have both K3+P3 as my main TRX and KX3 + KXPA100 as my backup TRX. I also bring KX3 out on field operation.
I sometimes use KX3 in standalone on contesting in QRP category.
