Hi Len: Perhaps this idea (I/Q output from the KX2) would be an area where someone would develop an after-market item that would permit tapping the I/Q data and porting it to the outside world. I’m sure that the Elecraft people must have considered the idea of such a port on the KX2, but made

> For me, having the I/Q on the KX2 would not eliminate need for my KX3. I agree, Len. In purchasing a KX2 with an RX I/Q output, I'd dedicate my KX3 to the shack. I'd use the KX2 / PX3 combination in the backyard, on a picnic table at the park, for camping, day hikes, Field Day, mini DX-peditio

>David stated (repeatedly) that RX I/Q was suppressed on the KX2 ... not to reduce cost, size or weight, but rather to create "product differentiation" (his words) with the K3 and KX3.  In other words (my words), Elecraft didn't want to make the same "mistake" with the KX2 that it made with the K
