HI all,

What a great FD and portable radio.

How much might it cost, any ideas?  

I need to know so I can save for it. After I finish saving for the KPA500
purchase, I possibly will be buying a KX3.

Thanks Steve and Wayne.

Very nice video and a very nice new transceiver.

Don't understand the use of NIMH cells with the current crop of LI-PO cells
massively out perform in size, weight and capacity.

Thoughts?

Maybe safety concerns?

I favour Lithium Iron Phosphate cells because that chemistry seems to be
immune to thermal runaway.
(That's what I'm installing in my boat as a propulsion battery bank for
an electric motor.)
However, charging them properly (maintaining equal voltage in each of
the cells of the battery bank) is, I think, more of a design hassle for
a portable rig like the KX3 -- or whether suitably small Lithium Iron
Phosphate cells are even available.

I expect that the Ele-team has made a good choice given the present
state of the art.

Safety, handling, cost, and flexibility during emergencies all favor AA cells Also, we all have stashes of NiMH cells already :)

Other battery types can be accommodated, but 8 AAs plus internal  NiMH charger is what we'll offer initially. Of course there's also a 2.1-mm jack for an external supply/battery.

Thanks, Steve and Wayne.

Will the PC control command set be similar to the K3?  I presume the
manuals will be available a short time before product release.  I'd like
to be able to provide Hamlib support a rig on its release for a change.

I also raised an eyebrow at the NIMH choice.  I have abandoned them here
because of their inferior self-discharge characteristics.  Unless you use
them often, they are usually dead when you need them.  One of the key
parameters I look at when purchasing battery powered electronics or tools is
the battery technology.  I no longer buy NIMH, but only one of the more
recent Li Ion chemistries, which hold their charge quite well over time.

Hmmm, binaural pitch mapping. When will the K3 get this?

My first impression was "that's amazing, but why would I want one?" After seeing this, I'm
starting to think differently. And I'm not any less amazed.

I'm not all that interested in QRP, but a high performance, battery
operable, general coverage receiver is something I would find very
useful, so expect an order as soon as the queue establishes.

Only thing I see missing from the receiver side is coverage below 500
KHz - while this can always be supplied by an up-converter, it would be
nice to have integrated into the package, and some performance
degradation could be accepted in this frequency range.

While fleshing out the KX3's general coverage receive capabilities, it will
be helpful if synchronous AM detection is implemented, as in the K3. Since
many of the announced features seem to be a port of the K3 DSP firmware, I'm
hoping this will be included.
