The 2M option for the KX3 supports transmit at about 3W output.
See: <http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3-2M%20FAQ.htm>
Let me add, there are a lot of new hams with tech licenses. Many
of them came to ham radio from an interest in community services
ARES/RACES etc. They primarily use 2M and 70cm FM repeaters and
simplex. It would be good for the hobby to have a radio which
supported these FM uses and opened the possibility of other
modes and bands. The Yaesu 8900 almost meets this requirement,
except it only does FM. There is a very useful tech SSB subband
on 10M which this radio just misses supporting.
I'm sure that some of them would want a high quality, US built,
radio that met their needs plus a little. Call it, "The gateway radio".

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....
