WTB K3

[JJ-2]

Hello all,
I've been a very happy KX3 owner and love QRP CW operating. But there are
times I would like to have 100 watts to rag chew in SSB as well. I do have
an amp that will produce just over 100 watts but I'm spoiled with silent
QSK. And it's a pain in the butt to put in and take out of line.

So, I am looking to replace my beloved KX3 with a K3. I would like a K3 100
with the tuner and general coverage receive is a plus as are any other
enhancements.  The further south of $2K the better.
Does anyone have a K3 to offer?
Thanks and 73,
Jon

Have you considered adding a KXPA100 to your KX3? It's perfectly
integrated, no taking it off line or putting it on line -- just turn the
power knob.

That's exactly what I did.

The KX3 power display automatically displays 0-50-100 watts vs. -0-5-10
watts. The KX3's ATU is bypassed, and the KXPA100's ATU does the tuning
when you tap the KX3's AATU button.

The KXP100 is tightly integrated with the KX3, and they are a joy to use
together.
