Elecraft KX3 HF and 6 Meter QRP Transceiver

摘要

The Elecraft KX3 is a nominal 10 W HF and 6 meter transceiver intended primarily for portable use. With its internal battery compartment and available miniature keyer paddles, it is ready to go from a campsite or picnic table with just the addition of an antenna (see Figure 1). Unlike many low power radios, in addition to CW, this transceiver can operate SSB, AM, FM and digital modes. As we will discuss, unlike many compact portables, it doesn't give up much in terms of features or performance in comparison to full-size high-end radios.
