Re: KX3 pics

Looks nice; but I would have expected a little lower profile knobs.

But, I am more interested in the KX3P100 with ATU...

Re: KX3 pics

I would be a little worried about damaging in transit the knobs or
display on such a portable little rig. A snap-on or removable hinged
hardshell front panel cover might be useful. (Actually, wouldn't mind
having same for my K3...)

The front panel cover would be nice, but a Pelican box can give ample
protection, also. A different way of accomplishing the same thing.
And, also, a good way of keeping the whole kit together.

That little carry-case that held the KX3 was pretty nifty, too.
Great presentation. What a wonderful radio!

Pelican cases are great! I have several.

But, they are far too heavy for backpacking. Just a cover to protect
the knobs while in the pack would be just the ticket.

Somewhat less protuding knobs, as well as a "thinner" dial knob would be more balanced with the rest of the unit, and would also be less vulnerable for transportation.

Re: KX3 pics

Hi Kristin

Some of those 3rd party side lids with handles, like those available for the K2 might provide the needed protection. Maybe Elecraft will offer 19 inch rack style handles or bumper side lids for the KX3. Might make it look a bit hitech and mil-spec.

A small canopy hood that offers some shade from sunlight might be another way of protecting the panel.

A small IP rated sealed hinge lid might be another option. I use them on my sailboat and they are readily available from boat shops. They are stereo radio DIN size. Other sizes are also available.

When all the accessories are planned for the KX3 it would be nice if all of them fitted into the standard Mil impact rack cases. I am sure the EMCOMM guys will love that as a option. It would also make it convenient to store all the KX3 accessories. They a much better option than the standard Pelican case.

A smaller thinner VFO knob like those found on the HP spectrum analyzers and some medical equipment might be another alternative. It would have been great if the KX3's VFO knob could be somehow locked back into the panel on some sort of spring lock cam arrangement. Anyway all expensive engineering that most would not want to pay for! Besides its too late now, the prototype has been already cast!

What I also would like to see is the ability maybe to use the H-250U mil manpack handset. Some sort of patch cable that allows connection to the Mil U-229 connector would be neat. That would be easy to homebrew.

I am imagining already that I own the KX3! Although I would need 20 watts of output power to make me get rid of my AEG SE6861 HF manpack
