Joe, Actually -- depending on the K2 option set you would choose, the KX3 could be less expensive than the K2. But if your desire is to build by soldering parts on a board and winding toroids, then the K2 will be your choice. Building the KX3 is more about mechanical assembly - there is no soldering.
If your desire is to solder kits, take a look at the Elecraft mini-modules. There are a number of very useful kits available - for instance, every ham station needs a dummy load, and the XG2 (or XG3) is a good tool for calibrating the S-meter. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/29/2012 9:43 AM, af6ni wrote: > Well I have the money in the bank and there is not a heck of a lot of > difference in the price of the K2 and KX3 so it's decision time.
