Hmm. I've no interest in an embedded mic on the KX3. Holding the
KX3 like a cell phone seems unwieldy. But then I have never owned a
cell-phone (previous employer supplied mine). I would go a month or
two and never add personal calls. If I wanted to call home I had a
desk phone (more likely I would e-mail). Before I was married only
person to talk to was the dog: "HI fido how's it
going?" ...."woof!" "Need anything from the store?" ..."woof,
woof". You get the picture. Nearest relative is 2,000 miles (e-mail
works there, too). If I want to talk to a ham , uh ... there's the
ham radio (or e-mail).
I sure don't need a cell-phone inside my KX3 (???). The 2m module
would be very nice.
BTW my wife has a simple voice cell-phone with 150-min/mo $30 plan
which we share. I use it when I'm on the tower and need a wrench
tied on the rope.
My use of the KX3 for voice is either at home, mobile, or portable
with external antenna. I do not envision using it like a HT (or
cell-phone). BUT that doesn't stop anyone from installing an
internal mic if they wish it. It would seem simple to add and
operate with VOX.
