I, too, have had a KX3 since late last summer. I love it. It has the best
receiver I've ever used. And, as Buddy said, the Morse readout of buttons
and knobs makes almost everything accessible except the menu settings. Since
it's all in firmware, I expect we'll see more Morse readout in future
firmware revisions.

I find the QRP 12 Watts is a little low for my QTH and antenna and am
looking forward to the Elecraft companion 100 Watt amplifier that should be
available to be ordered soon.

73, Jim, KY2D

Subject: I've got the KX3 bug

Hello everyone,

I have been away for over a month because I couldn't afford to pay my =
internet bill.  I have fixed that and I am back.  I had a great year in =
Dayton, and I sold all of my take home Coffee Friday.  While there I = went
to Elecraft and looked at the KX3.  Then I spoke yesterday to the = HAMPOD
guy whose name I forget right now.  I got the bug and I want one. =  So I am
going to sell either my Icom 7000 or my fully Icom 706MKII G to = buy one.
Is anyone interested in either Icom?  And does anyone here = have a KX3?
Gerry
