Hi Tommy, If you're interested in field operating -- Field Day, mini-DXpeditions, HFpack, etc. -- you might consider a KX3 or KX2. The KX2 is my personal go-to radio for all of these activities because it's so small (half the size of the KX3) while still putting out up to 10 W from its internal battery. Both rigs have wide-range ATUs built-in so you can just toss a wire in a tree. They also have attached keyer paddles.
The KX2 also has a built-in mic (you can use our MH3 with either rig). I use mine HT-style with an AX1 whip, and have worked all over the world this way while hiking (/PM, or Pedestrian Mobile). It's a challenge, but that's half the fun with QRP (low-power operating). You can use either rig as a 100 W home station, when desired, by adding a KXPA100 amp (and optional KXAT100 ATU module). The KX3 also has an optional panadapter (PX3). We designed these rigs to be extremely flexible...hand-held, trailside, bike, mobile, or home station. Let me know if you have further questions. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Apr 30, 2020, at 9:25 AM, Tommy Judson via Elecraft > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > > Ok, joined this group even though I don’t own an Elecraft radio - yet.
