It's really amazing...

[hb9dco]

Just four hours ago, I met Eric at Ham Radio in Friedrichshafen...
I played a little with KX-3...a lot of people around, hi
Everybody was surprised, when I asked for "Walkie-Talkie" style...Wayne i saying hand-held...

Eric, gentleman like, grabbed out an electret microphone, and plugged in...
People around were whispering...
Yep, I'll order three KX-3 for my friends and me...a.s.a.p., of course ;-)

  As I found out from their legal department 25+ years ago,
  "Walkie-Talkie" is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.
  which they protect vigorously as much as they can.  (I had
  discovered that phrase in some pending legislation and asked
  about it.)

Oh, I didn't know...Thank you very much for correction
Everybody hereover (Europe) is saying "Walkie-Talkie"...hi
I recall, started at the 60's...

From now, we call "Hand - held"...wondering then, how it really works ?

In the meantime, I'm also awaiting for my KPA500...like many are...

About ten years ago, Nextel was selling Motorola iDEN two-way technology
as a cellular telephone substitute and tried to trademark "Push To
Talk". Nextel was eventually absorbed by Sprint. I see now PTT is a term
commonly used in the cellular industry, but I don't think anyone is
trying to claim it as a trademark.

Hmmm...  Given Elecraft rigs are such good CW rigs should we call the KX3 a
"Walkie-Keyie?"  ;-)

  The technique was different from what we hams know as "Push to
  Talk" - IIRC it was more along the lines of "push to connect".
  That provided a good laugh for all of us who were familiar with
  PTT in the usual context.
