If you were also thinking about buying new, and if you enjoy the building
process, the KX3 and the K2 are entirely different experiences. I¹ve
built both, plus the K3 and a number of accessories (PX3, P3, etc.)
Building a KX3 kit is essentially nut-and-bolt assembly of pre-made
pieces. Interesting to do but not much of a challenge. The K2 is a
challenge, and for me was a rewarding learning experience. I haven¹t had
the K2 nearly long enough to offer any comparisons of the two rigs¹
operations - indeed, so far I have hardly used it on the air at all. But
if building interests you, I would encourage you to consider the K2. I
personally would not have bought a K2 pre-built.

hello all, new to the list, hoping to buy a k2 or kx3 within next couple
weeks. I was hoping to find used k2, but seems like all the ones I find are
just couple hundred less than used kx3. Seems like the kx3 is well worth
200 more. I only do Cw / Qrp , and just looking for opinions, thoughts
observations
Thanks, 73
