I agree. The KX3 is a fine radio, but the K3 is much easier to use if
you want to do modes other than CW and SSB. In today's world, digital
modes have become quite popular, in large part because they make it
possible to work through the greatly increased noise levels present
where most of us live.
and can run the full 100
watts
The base K3 is a 15W radio. The 100W amp in a K3/100 is an option.
when QRP just won't cut it.
I work a lot of QRP, but I also work a lot at 1.5 kW.
My first recommendation would be a used K3/100 if you don't need the
compactness of the KX3, but study the options that are installed. Some
options are no longer available from Elecraft. Get advice from a K3
owner if you don't understand the details.
