Vedr: Why settle for KX3-2M? Why not KX3-2M/70cm?

Edward R Cole
I do not have my KX3 in-hand to give it a good looking over, but
based on photos I am wondering if a clamp-on module could not be
added to the back (to fit the same foot-print) and provide sufficient
room for a multi-band transceiver, say 144-222-432?

I know the XV line covets this range so not out of Elecraft's
territory to make such a "critter".  Then the KX3 will indeed be a
contender-succeeder to the FT-817.

Anyway just throwing out this as an idea for future projects.

I don't think a clamp-on transverter would be a good idea, one of the ideas behind the KX3 is to make it small, and an clamp-on transsverter would make it bigger.
