Greetings,
Forgive me if I sound lame. I rely on communications for my life sometimes,
and like diving, REDUNDANCY is the key to survival when it comes down to it.
I think the KX3 is about as broad range as a thing can get for the price.
And as far as monitoring Weather and stuff, I personally use
Mike is quite right; it has *everything* to do with ones age and physical

Hi, Steve. thanks for offering up your perspective on the special case of
multiday backpack excursions. Agreed that when backpack camping "every ounce
counts". I could not imagine carrying something like 15lbs of radio gear on
such an excursion, as you did with the FT-857.
However, if all you real
Though I respect your opinion, Mike, and everyone else that shares the same
sentiment, I must entirely disagree with your point about using an HT to
supplement the KX3 vs. the multi-mode capability on 2m.
My basis for my comments is backpacking. I ask those that are consider the

It has been said by numerous people on the FT-817 Yahoo Group on this subject

Agreed, the big win on the KX3's 2 meter coverage is *all mode* capability
(and that's coming from someone who will never utilize it for that).
As far as using an HT as scanner duty in a mobile is concerned - been there
/ done that, fiddly at best.

Doing any extension of the front end capability would open the

One of the most exciting things about this KX3 is its ability to be very
close to a "one rig for everything" rig. While it's not a dedicated contest
rig, a dedicated trail rig, a dedicated mobile rig, etc., it seems to come
close to a good blend of all.
If it's already capable of receiving VHF thr
Andrew,
I am very impatiently awaiting the details like you are on this subject.
What I can share from what I have learned here on the list is that this has
not in fact been detailed yet, that has been announced. The 2m module is
still in development. That having been said, it has been alluded to
Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I've been off the list for a
while and haven't found an answer in the archives.
Is there any chance the KX3's 2 meter option could cover receive-only up to
about 155 MHz? If not, without going into horrendous detail, what are the
technical limitations
