KX3 performance numbers

[Joseph Trombino, Jr]

While I'm not looking for an "ARRL Lab" type of equipment review, I wonder if there are RX performance numbers for the KX3 that can be put out on the list.

Specifically, the 3rd order intercept numbers as well as blocking dynamic range would be nice along with sensitivity.

Given that the KX3 is probably going into production very soon I would assume these numbers would be available.

Believe Elecraft follows the ARRL testing procedures closely and has the equipment in-house to perform the tests.

If these numbers aren't available yet I guess we will have to wait for a review in QST sometime in the spring or perhaps even later.

These numbers will be announced well ahead of first shipments. You  
won't be disappointed, either.

Wayne,

I've been lurking since I ordered the KX3 and have been watching the
interesting dialog/multilog going on re: additional/changing features on the
rig. What is the point at which Elecraft locks in all the specs.  and
features for the KX3? I don't know anything about manufacturing processes
but it seems that with about 2 months to go (nominally) it's getting pretty
close, no?

The corollary to this question is (and I've not owned an Elecraft product
before, except for my T-1 AT), do features get changed or updated
periodically after sale and if so, is it easy to upgrade and maintain
currency?

Thanks!

Bill

Hi Bill,

Both the manual and firmware will continue to be updated long after we  
first start shipping. Something magic happens when hundreds of people  
start using a radio -- special requests, new features, improvements.

Of course the firmware updates and revised manuals are available for  
free download on our web site.
