The KX2 came out around 2016, and the KX3 around 2011, if I am remembering correctly now.

This being offered in response to the ongoing question, posed by others - not me, of whether the KX3 is going to be end-of-life’d soon. 73, Dave - N5DCH > On Jul 19, 2023, at 9:18 AM, Mark Musick <markmus...@outlook.com> wrote: > > Hi Dave, > The KX2 came out after the KX3. > They are two different platforms aimed at two different markets.
