Fwd: Yaesu 817ND vs Elecraft KX3 Differences for Portable Use

Interesting comparison between the KX3 and the 817 by M0JCQ, a serious portable operator. Don't let the fact that I'm hopelessly biased influence your guess about which rig he prefers :)

The KX3 also lacks the 70cm band. Since our ARES/RACES group
uses that band (on rare occasions), it would be useful for those activations. It would also be another band for the ARRL VHF contest -- backpack mode. :-) 73 Bill AE6JV On 1/29/16 at 2:05 PM, [hidden email] (John Kramer) wrote: >Interesting read Wayne.

I had an 817 first, then got the 703, which blew the 817 away !
I sold the 817 so fast, I'll never own another for any reason ! Then I got the KX3, s/n 45..... The 703 was sold, but it was a good radio, far superior to the 817 !! The KX3 out did both ! I'm a die hard Elecraft fan for life.... BTW, I also have a KX1 and K1, I reluctantly sold my K2 just recently, which was a great radio, I needed the room. There are no other radios for me now but Elecraft !! And of course there's the great customer service you get, that the "others" don't provide !!

I sold my '817 the week after I returned from
Dayton and saw the KX3 for the first time. 2nd step was to get a KX3 on order. Main complaint with the Yaesu was its Rx. I never dared to hook it to a big antenna. 2nd complaint was the horrendous ½A current drain in receive. Even if it WERE to become an option, the LAST color I'd want on the KX3 screen would be blue. Save the multi-colors for Christmas trees and leave the KX3 screen alone. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Edward R Cole Sent: Friday, January 29, 2016 12:55 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Fwd: Yaesu 817ND vs Elecraft KX3 Differences for Portable Use I owned a FT-817 from the first year they offered it until the KX3 came out.
