100W amp with tuner. Ouch! around $1300.00
My arithmetic says $1,000 as kits for the amp and tuner. +$100 factory built. These kits are so simple, and the components are factory tested, so it's silly not to take advantage of the discount. Likewise, the KX3 is $900 as a kit. If you're going to backpack with it or use it with random wires, you'll want the QRP tuner, $170, and the paddle $130.
Add the cost of the KX3 and it's still a LOT less than a K3, AND you have both a world class 100W transceiver, a world class 10W rig for backpacking, or to throw in your carry-on for various trips. And you can use the KX3 as a "mobile head" with the 100W amp buried in the trunk or under a seat. Or you can put the KX3 on a desktop and the 100W amp under the desk.
