Joe,
Crucial difference is that the KX3 system is
modular and the barefoot KX3 can be used very
effectively battery operated for SOTA, camping and
the like. I suspect the IC-7300 was not designed
for power efficiency :-)
So I see them as a very different class of rig.

This is very true to me as well. One thing that I am seeing in several places
online right now is that the 7300 Icom is a big competitor to the KX3. A lot
of folks are saying that why spend the money for a KX3 when you can have a
panadapter, 100 watts, etc built in for much less money than the KX3/PX3/KPA100
combination.
This is relative to Elecraft and the KX3 in particular because this may turn
out to be a major competitor to the KX3 series, or not, but it is certainly a
relative discussion.
Anyhow, I don't mean to hijack the list, but other products do affect Elecraft
and their users.
