But I think Field Day would be a prime application for the KX3.  A
bullet-proof front end and a low-phase-noise transmitter are essential
when you have antennas spaced close together like on a FD site.

Also, I suspect a lot of people are going to use the KX3 for their fixed
station as well.  It would make a great starter rig for a new ham or as
a second rig for an old timer.
