ELECRAFT KX3 TRANSCEIVER WITH KXAT3 INTERNAL ATU - PELICAN 1150 CASE - MINT For Sale

You are offerding on an Elecraft model KX-3 portable transceiver serial # 3769 with optional KXAT3 internal Antenna Tuner Unit (ATU). This bundle consists of a Pelican model 1150 hard case, 3 amp 12 volt AC adapter, USB programming cable, assembly and users manuals, original box with spare parts (extra knobs, screws, etc). I am listing this as new other, because it was never used, never left the house and sat in its hard case since I bought and assembled it as a kit a few years back. The reason why it was never used is because I never could decide on what type of antenna to use with it and so I moved onto other projects with the thought of getting back to using this KX3 once I decided what I wanted to do. I have since decided to go in another direction with my base station needs, which is why I am now making my KX3 available on . This KX3 doe not have the roofing filter option and the firmware was upgraded at some point, but is probably is out of date and needs to be upgraded to the latest version. I will leave this up to the new owner and its easily done by downloading the firmware from the Elecraft web site.Here is some additional information:Features

Ultra-Compact Home/Portable/Mobile Station

The revolutionary Elecraft KX3 puts the world in the palm of your hand! Despite its small size, it covers all amateur bands from 160-6 meters, operates in all modes, and has DSP-based features usually found only on larger radios.

The KX3\'s unique form-factor allows you to operate from anywhere. Fold out the rear tilt-feet for use on a desktop or picnic table. For extreme portability, you can add the internal wide-range ATU, 8-AA cell battery pack with NiMH charger, and adjustable KXPD3 keyer paddle. With a whip antenna, you can even operate hand-held.

In receive mode, current drain can be as low as 150 mA - about one-half to one-third that of competing all-band portables. Transmit efficiency is also excellent, further improving battery life.

Full-Featured, yet Easy to Use

The KX3 features a large front panel with all controls optimized for convenient use. You won\'t have to dig through menus to set the power level, adjust the keyer speed, or change filter settings. And the KX3 has the same full-size display as the Elecraft K3, so all operating information is available at a glance.

The KX3\'s tutorial-style manual explains how and why controls are used, so new hams will be experts in no time. Of course you\'ll also have Elecraft\'s legendary customer support, and free firmware upgrades via the internet.
