KX3 seems pretty issue free :-]

dw-4
I think Eric and Wayne are pretty much genius's when it comes to
designing radios.
So thrilled for what they've done with Elecraft!!

I've been watching the list since the KX3's went to production, and I
see very few if any user troubles posted.
Good times for ham radio!!

It is pretty reliable and has an amazing number of features. Including CW and SSB memories + excellent CW decode.

I traveled with it to many places in the US and outside. Including PA, ES, OH, SP, 4X,... If anything is to be improved:

1. Better speech processor (and equalizer). The current one is less efficient than in K2 and 5 db below K3.  See  COMP_K3_KX3.pdf at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KX3/files. Unless signals are very strong, I give up on SSB with KX3 when portable.

2. Have an option for AT to turn off segment tuning. You tune on 14.010, QSY to 14.030, and AT turns off. Segment tuning is very good for stationary installations but not with portable antennas.
