hello buddy, i think that the kx3 uses the same command codes as the 
k3.  my k3 reader is the first off the press and we are in test mode 
still.  so far all is all great.  i will let every one know when the 
orders can be excepted.  and at that time the unit price also.  i was 
using it to setup my transmit equalizer and my AGC hold time on 
ssb.  when i was tuning up my alpha 91b amplifier it was a kick to 
reach over and turn the drive controol and the k3 reader was telling 
me what the drive power was automatically.  and at the same time i 
was monitoring the amps output power.  what a kick.  take care, c u
