OT: KX3 Package for Sale

For Sale: Nice KX3/PX3/KXPA100 package priced individually and as a
complete package. For health reasons I can no longer drive or take it
portable in the field so I'm selling it to help fund a K3S to replace my
main stations K3. I will only ship this in the U.S. to avoid V.A.T and
Customs charges besides the extremely high international shipping costs.

KX3 with MH3 hand microphone, internal antenna tuner, battery box and
charger, internal 2 meter transverter, Gems Products end plates and
Lexan cover along with GEMS KXPD3 paddle socket cover. No KXPD3 paddle
is included though and finally the Nifty Products Lexan stand for the
KX3. $1000 shipped anywhere in CONUS (None of the internal options
would be removed for a lower price, so don't ask.)

PX3 Panadapter, interconnecting cables to KX3, GEMS end plates and Lexan
cover plus the Nifty Products Lexan stand for the PX3. $375 shipped
anywhere in the U.S.

KXPA100 100 watt amplifier with the internal antenna tuner and all
cabling to interconnect with a KX3. $850 shipped anywhere in the U.S.

All Elecraft manuals are included and the latest firmware (as of
December 31, 2015) has been installed and tested in each unit. A
programming cable will be included if you buy the package but I only
have one and it will go with the KX3 if that is purchased as an
individual item, sorry.

Total cost of these if you buy them separately at my listed prices would
be $2200 so if you buy all three as a package, I'll sell them for $2100
shipped anywhere in the U.S.

Please reply off list for further info or to indicate you'd like one or
more of the items. I really would rather sell this as a package so
offers for the individual items will be saved by date time stamp on the
emails and first in will get right of first refusal. If after a week
the package hasn't sold, I reserve the right to either sell the items
individually or keep the package.

Payment by Certified Check or U.S. Postal money order, no PayPal (unless
you are willing to pay their charges).

Re: KX3 with KPA500

The book says "30 to 40 watts for 500 watts output". So if one has 1/2
of that for drive power {15 watts to 20 watts} then they can expect 1/2
of the rated output power {250 watts}.

Re: KX3 with KPA500

In reply to this post by W4GRJ

Jack,

I’ve got my KX3 and K3 cabled so that either can drive my KPA500 and KAT500 via a switch, per the diagram in Fred Cady’s book. When I use the KX3 to drive the amp, I can usually get 240 watts out, max. However, I don’t necessarily like to run the KX3 at full throttle (or my car!) so I back down the RF out on the KX3 and let the amp cruise along at about 210 watts out.

Re: KX3 with KPA500

I run my K3-S with 10w of drive power and usually get 200W out of the KPA500…. I have not hooked my KX3 up … but assuming you have 14V - I see no reason why this would not behave the same.
