Yes. Several of the K6SRA club members and I gave it a good workout. The food, brew, and company were all excellent, too. My son (age 7) had a blast. > If so... impressions.... Don't turn your back, or the rig will disappear :) Everyone was very enthusiastic about the small size and ergonomics. It performed very well, too. This was a 100-watt FD effort, but we ended up substituting the KX3 (at 5-10 W) for one of the "brand X" 100-W radios for most of the weekend. We made contacts on both CW and SSB, with excellent signal quality reports. One op had it running JT65 on 20 m, and I made a contact using it hand-held with a 4-foot whip. Personally, I'm finding that the KX3 really is the "dream" all-band/all-mode portable we've been envisioning for the past 15 years. The technology finally caught up with our impossible design spec. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
