Having both of those radios plus (2) K3's I feel your choice would indeed be a good one. The KX3 is a much more advanced radio "SDR" with features the K2 didn't have make it the logical choice and with the coming options an even better one.
In the last few months I have found myself using both my K3's one with a KPA500/KAT500 and the other with an Alpha/Palstar HF-Auto less and less and the KX3 more and more. With contacts that have surprised me at times working against all QRO stations.....but I'm a new QRP operator only about 18 mo. and learning all of mine are SSB contacts. In fact I'm advising a newer operator/friend to buy one now, he had been holding out for a K3 but would have taken him another year + to come up with the money. I told him to buy the KX3 for now with all options then wait for the soon to be released amp/tuner for it. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser #'s 6730/5299--KX3 # 2573--K2/100--KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Roberts Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 8:58 AM To: Elecraft Email Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 instead of K2/100? Call me crazy, but after many QRP contacts, both DX and US, I'm thinking I could be happy with just a KX3 instead of my K2/100. Is that just nutty thinking? Maybe just get a HFpacker amp for the occasional QRO boost. The SDR aspects of the KX3 are really appealing to me.
