And, here's my contribution to the KX3 discussions to Wayne. No response back, but if he's getting these from us, well, they'll have to notice. Right? Both Gary and I have purchased Elecraft products in the past, and I hope to do so again in the future.

I'm particularly attracted by a go-anywhere slightly bigger than KX1 all mode rig to go with this Bluestar P1 vertical, or perhaps something akin to the ATX Walkabout antennas, but it's pretty important to me to be able to adjust things (and at least determine/set operating frequency) without the aid of a visual display. Even morse annunciation of operating parameters like the KX1 or KRC2-AC, which by the way I still thoroughly enjoy, would even be fantastic. Heck, I'd even really like morse translation of rtty/psk, but I don't expect to get that. I'd actually like to see these on a K3, but it's unlikely I'll be able to buy one of those any time soon.

Still, I caught the youtube post, and this sounds like a great little rig. Think it'd work with the KPA-100? (I fully expect the answer to be no.)
