Wayne,
Thanks for the link.
Perusing the details, I note a single antenna connector, which makes
sense with a compact radio. But I do not see evidence of a
transverter interface. I was not sure if that was being included -
appears not. Being QRP, this is not hard to overcome by use of a 10w
40-dB attenuator chip and pin-diode relay in the transverter to
switch TR at the transverter. Many transverters can be ordered with
a transceiver connection option.
The KX3 with 2m option should look very attractive as an alternative
to the FT-817 as IF radio for VHF and Microwave hams. For portable
mw it is way more attractive than hauling the K3 around (which I am
reluctant to do). My 10-GHz portable station utilizes the FT-817
with all components fitting into a Pelican 1520 case. I think the
KX3 will fit in the same footprint as the FT-817.
