Well, I did it. After watching the KX3 phenomenon, losing the weight I
promised myself and getting paid on some consulting work, I pulled the
trigger and ordered a KX3. Let the people rejoice!

Just finished KX3 s/n1571. Works fine! First QSO was with the Sunday night
Elecraft net, about 10 minutes after the first screw went in. Now to figure
out all these buttons and knobs!

Got it working. The KX3 scans from low to high. VFO A must be the low freq,
VFO B is the high freq. Now all is well with the world...

I
believe I am not sacrificing performance wrt to the K3.
I do a lot of traveling and the KX3 is the ticket. But, if I were to
have just a rig for the house, never move it, I think I would still go
for the KX3.

Any thoughts as to when the 2 meter option might come out for the KX3?

Ok, just got my Side KX plates and cover. Installed them and looks great.
Now, what to do with the old plates? Keep them? (I will only lose them)
Does Elecraft want them? (drop them off at Pacificon).

I would to use an existing 2 meter xvtr with the KX3. No problem except my
primary use would be for satellite operation. That is in the 145.8 to 146.0
mhz. That would correspond to 29.8 to 30.0 mhz, which is out of band for
the KX3. So, is there a way to allow transmit just above the ten meter
was not holding the rig, it was sitting on the ground. When I
started using the rig I had the head phones on and the paddle on my leg or
the mic in my hand. Likely those two things were affecting my "ground"
Anyone else see this? Now I need to go back out and experiment with it.;)

I would like a longer delay time on the scan function when a station is
found. Is there a way to lengthen the "stop on signal" delay?

I am looking to upgrade a friend's older K2, sn 280. What mods are
recommended as necessary and what would be in the nice to have category.
This is a plain vanilla K2, CW only, QRP, no 160, 60 meters, etc.

Just wanted to claim the first use of the KX-3 on satellite, both FO29 and
AO7. Worked fine, excellent audio reports. Did need both a receive preamp
and a little help on transmit as well.

I am contemplating some shack changes with the new year, maybe going to a
KX2. What would the group say would be a reasonable price for a KX1 (80 and
30 meter added, internal tuner) and a K2 (with 160, 60, ssb) ?

Sounds like an excellent idea.
BTW - Our club has done flash field days - we gather at the donut shop and
head out to an point only known to the planner. We set up, operate for 4
hours or so, and then head home.

CW weight refers to the balance between the single element length (dit)
and the space. But, what is the elecraft definition of a "weight" of 1.00
verses 1.25? As weight is changed does the dit or the space change? Does
the ratio between dit and dah remain a constant 3:1?

It has been a true pleasure using the K2 up there. Simple to use, quite
receiver, nice memories. Just a pleasure to use casually while resting from
a hike and drinking a beer. What to go Elecraft!
