This was brought up years ago when the two meter module became available. If
I remember correctly (with the K3) the issue was full duplex. Wayne I think
said it wasn't possible to get the K3 design into full duplex, and they
wouldn't even consider doing it . Maybe things have changed with the KX3? If
so I will also buy one...

I enthusiastically second what Paul said, and in the meantime would be
excited to see a small 2 meter/435 receiver converter card or box for either
radio so at least one KX sibling could go along on a satellite ops trip,
rather than forlornly watching the Y twins head out the door.
I realize the kx3 could be equipped to receive 2 meters now but that's a lot
of kit compared to an 817 just for 2 meter receive....
Maybe same footprint as a kx2 or 3 and mount right on the back for good
field integration..with space reserved for the transmitting converters when
they become available...if we have to wait. :)
And the Yaesus are getting a bit long in the tooth....might be a great time
to crack the U/V market.
In the meantime how about a small (like Kenwood ht size) speaker mic with
volume control for the kx2/3? With a good button (or 2) for cw keying while
walking?

A KX2 or KX3 sized full-duplex 2m/70cm radio would be amazing and fill a
big hole in current product availability.
Lots of satellite ops currently use an "FT-1634" or "FT-1674" (2 FT-817s
or
1 FT-817 & 1 FT-857) for this purpose.
