KX3 100w amp

John Shadle
Does this device have a "name" yet?

The KX3 sounds neat, but I'd love to get my hands on a 100w amp for
5/10w radios.

Will it be a solder kit or modular like the K3?

Re: KX3 100w amp

Byron Servies
I'm sure it will be modular.

We are witnessing the fruits of the investment Elecraft began making a
few years ago in DSP development and SMD manufacturing.  Combined with
the improvements in low-power devices for use in the mobile phone /
tablet markets and Wayne's love of trail-friendly radios, the KX3 was
almost inevitable.

While I would like new kits, too, and will continue to build out my K2
station, the features and capabilities of the new Elecraft product
lines are very compelling.

KX3 Pricing

Ken Alexander-2
With the base model K3 starting at $1500 it seems to me the basic 5/10W KX3 will likely range between $900 and $1200.  Maybe more...hard to say.

Anyone else care to speculate?

Re: KX3 Pricing

k6dgw
Let's see if I have this right:  No one on this list save the Elecraft
Insiders, and possibly a few hundred now gathered around the Elecraft
booth in Dayton, have ever seen a KX3, let alone built one, taken one
apart, or used one.  In fact, except for the fact that Wayne's
announcement occurred in mid-May and not 1 April and we all tend to
trust Elecraft 24/7/365 anyway, most of us can't even be sure the KX3
actually exists.

None the less, we have ideas for using the unseen KX3, suggestions for
design changes and enhancements, and estimates of pricing, all within
the space of one solar day.  Who'd have ever thunk? :-)
