Like Jocelyn, I have mostly used my KX3 for FT8 digital mode operations, and have
found it works very well on that mode from 6m down through HF. It is ESSENTIAL that
you get the built in antenna tuner! It is AMAZING and will load up into just about
anything!
I ordered mine with the built in

Does the one in the schematics not work for you? It's a PDF and let's me
zoom way in without pixelation.

Thanks for the update, Eric.
I hadn't gotten the the order list, when offered, but recent chatter on
this list prompted to write to get me added on wait list (which I
received confirmation from sales). I've had only one failure, the
KI03A, which was repaired by Elecraft two years ago. I
When I ordered my KX3 in December of 2019, the only things I ordered from
Elecraft were the KX3, the KXAT3, and the KXPKT cable kit and a second
power cable. I added the SideKX end plates and lexan cover and the cover
for the KXPD3 port. I mainly do digital modes when I’m portable so I’ve got

I have a KX3 with the KXAT3, KXBC3, KXFL3, and KXPA100. I put the SideKX
side panels on it, and got the SideKX RAM mount adapters for the radio and
the panadapter. I took the batteries out of the KXBC3 after they kept me
from doing a firmware update properly. If you run into a problem with the

Back in late2019 I had to decide ( 3x K3S/PE . 1x KPA500 still here) K4 or
something else.

See my tech blog on my QRZ comparing K*S to FTDX101MP

The really short answer is "all of them" and even more so if you are buying
it factory assembled and tested. This is such a versatile rig, you will
find something to do with every option. I got mine fully loaded except for
the 2M transverter. The reason I didn't was that I already had an HT at
Anyone who has ever been responsible for ordering parts, no matter which

Yes, one can say the K3s is at the end of its development cycle. Yet it is
at the top of the list in its development!
The real driving force here will be the thousands of K3-K3s transceivers

Elecraft has said that the K4 is supposed to eventually have full remote
capability from a PC or even notebook computer, which from my point of
view would be one of the strong selling points of the rig. However, the
last information I saw on it (I think somebody posted a reply from

I still say it was purely a business decision WHEN THEY MADE IT. Yes,
some parts might be difficult to get now, but when Elecraft offered the
last chance buys they obviously expected to be able to source the
necessary parts or they wouldn't have done so. With Elecraft's

Hey Glen,
Here's my take on KX3 options and such:
KXAT3 is absolutely worth it. It will tune *anything* and is super easy to
use. (Looking at you, Icom, where pushing the button turns the tuner on and
off and you have to hold it to run a tuning cycle.)
KXBC3 is okay. I use the NiMHs more like a
I have a KX3 fully loaded (KXFL3, KXAT3, KXBC3, KX3-2M) the only one I
would skip if I had to do it over is the KXBC3. The NiMH batteries just
don't have the oomph to justify adding them for me and having the RTC

I'm scheduled to give, at the August meeting of the South Mountain Radio
Amateurs club, a presentation on the workings of the Elecraft KX3.
I need a readable copy of the KX3's block-diagram for my ppt.

Are there any suggested steps prior to powering them on or just plug n play?
Tnx.

Hi Everyone,
I apologize for not posting this update last week. It was quite busy
at Elecraft HQ, plus I had two unexpected visits to the dentist. (Lots of
fun :-)
As you know by now, the logistics and parts production shortage problems
caused by the COVID pandemic have caused huge production
