A couple of questions I didn't see answered there (perhaps I missed them) are:
- what type are the antenna connectors (look like SO239's in the rear view on the data sheet) - what protocol does the radio's RS-232 control use? (I'm guessing it will have a lot of unique commands, but if it can be used with something like the Kenwood protocol, like the K2, that will be a big help until the various CAT programs add full K3 support.) I'm also intrigued by the idea of computerless datamodes operation using a "small external keyboard" instead of a CW paddle. Will that be a future kit? I'm totally gobsmacked by the K3. I never imagined that the K3 people have fantasized over for years on this reflector would actually become a reality, in kit form too, at such a reasonable price. The moment I saw this, as when I first read about the K2 back in 1999, I knew this was one radio I just had to have. >From this side of the Atlantic, at $2 / £1 exchange rate, it looks very good value indeed. I'm hoping that the modular kit will qualify for import duty exemtion as well. I have decided to get my order in before one of the UK dealers asks for exclusive UK distribution rights and we all end up having to pay twice the price.
