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. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?

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.
