I will start by stating that the Texas DX Society has found the Kenwood TS-480
to have a receiver that is adequate for DXpedition and Field Day work. As
contest director of TDXS I am in complete agreement with this finding. I know
only what has been published on this forum about the KX3 which leads me to
believe that the KX3 will probably have a better receiver than the TS-480 and
approach that of the K3. The architecture of the KX3 promises to be a good deal
more flexible that the TS-480 with a control head and remote transceiver. The
TS-480 is not in the picture for a back pack operation. My opinion is that the
KX3 will be a great winner if it equals the TS-480 because it is more flexible.
If it is as good as the K3, that is even better. If any design team is capable
of K3 performance in a flexible package, it is Wayne, Eric, et. al. and I am
eager to see how they come out. They are very brave to give us the preliminary
peek we now have and I am eager to see the final product, but not so eager that
I want them to release it before they are ready.
