> The KX3 is a hand-holdable, trail-friendly, desktop-compatible, QRP
> radio with many big-rig features. It includes space for 8 internal AA
> cells, an auto antenna tuner, a multiple-bandwidth roofing filter, an
> NiMH trickle charger and a 2M transverter. It runs <= 5W on internal
> batteries or 12W with an external 13.8V supply. It sports the same LCD
> display as the K3 (and most of the represented features) but the front
> panel is 40% smaller and it's only 1.5" thick. I used it last weekend
> to drive an external amp to about 200W and made 400 Qs in the ARRL DX
> CW. It can send and decode CW, RTTY and PSK without a computer. It
> also works on SSB, of course, and will eventually do AM and FM. It's
> currently in field test, so not all features have been implemented and
> its performance numbers are not yet committed. But it's pretty darn
> good for a modestly-priced radio that is equally at home on the trail,
> in the car and at home.
