Genesis of the KX3

[Bill W4ZV]

On July 22 Lyle accidentally posted this to the list:

So nobody who reads this list regularly should be surprised by the KX3.  We don't know when actual shipments will begin but kudos to Elecraft for a 10 month turnaround from concept to reality (or at least a working prototype at Dayton).

73,  Bill

P.S.  there's also a clue or two in there about the K4!

objections. It has a good receiver (actually really good, for the modest
price), but in order to make it usable as a QRP DX radio I had to add an
outboard keyer (Hamgadgets MK1) and an outboard hardware controller
(Hercules MP3 DJ interface -- awesome for controlling a radio!). I hadn't
seen Lyle's post, but all the same thoughts percolated through my mind while
I was trying to get the Flex up to snuff.
