Dan I’m just in the process of tidying up my 1.2Ghz SG lab transverter connection to the KX3 and weaving in their 25w amp for SOTA work here in SoCal. It leveraged the 2m and the 3w out is fine with the SG labs transverters.
For what it’s worth W6PQL has some great amp etc for VHF and up. Most aren’t exactly portable but worth a look but then again your land rover might enjoy transporting them. http://www.w6pql.com/ Paul W6PNG/M0SNA www.nomadic.blog > On May 26, 2020, at 10:54 AM, Dan de Bruijn <eadan...@zeelandnet.nl> wrote: > > > Hi Wayne and Eric, > > I own both a KX-2 and a KX-3 and I'm very happy with both units. > > De KX-2 is used during hiking and outdoor (not very much SOTA in the > Netherlands), using the internal batterypack. > The KX-3 is used as a homestation and in my Landrover, using an external > battery.
