This is my first reflector post in the three years that I have been a member. As one of the early adopters of the KX3 and later the PX3, I have a high regard for the excellent Elecraft customer service and quality of engineering. Whenever I am doing portable operations, I carry the KX3 along with a spare LiPO battery (e.g. Field Day or hikes). I am also the owner of a FlexRadio 6700. It is my home station rig along with the Alpha 9500. I have had the Flex for 6 months and am very pleased with it. It replaced my TenTec Orion II and functions well on many, many modes. I operate CW 98% of the time.
I am delighted to be able to choose knob radios (SDR nonetheless) from Elecraft AND software HMI radios from FlexRadio. Both are excellent American ham radio firms.
