Mike I thought about that very thing when ordering mine finally decided to order it along with every other option offered. Why cost was very low for a loaded one and resale (not a chance) would be better.
What I have found is that the internal tuner is one of the most valuable options offered for the radio. It has given me a chance to start working QRP portable like I had never been able to do in the past so easy. In fact my K3's and K2 along with my other rigs have been seeing idle times here lately. I have 4 100w exciters and 2 amps an Elecraft and an Alpha, so not sure yet if I'm going for the 100w tuner/amp for the KX3. BUT........sometimes if it's an Elecraft item it's like an old dog that crawls in and lays down beside you and stays. I'm going to see what the price on the combo tuner/amp will be. Them make a decision. In fact since Jan/13 I am well on my way to QRP/DXCC Phone with the KX3 and countries for regulars DXCC are getting much harder to come by now. If it were anything but an Elecraft tuner I might have passed on it but few can match it for an internal tuner. IMHO a must have option in a KX3 for full enjoyment of the Top QRP rig YMMV. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100--KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of mike Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 10:29 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 - buy without KXAT3? I am getting close to buying a KX3 and want to get my options right.With the KXPA100 coming out soon with an internal tuner, it would seem there is no need to purchase the internal KXAT3 with the KX3. Am I reading this correctly? ..mike AI6II -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-buy-without-KXAT3-tp7573885.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ----- No virus found in this message.
