Cool! I think I need one of those.
 (Pictures self on patio with KX3 connected to IRLP node gabbing on Friday net.)
Can you hit any repeaters in your area? |

Cool!
They sure cram a lot of stuff in that radio.
Edit: Holy cow, downsize those pictures.

I'm really curious to know what the total FM power output is. Do you have a power meter?
Cool! Now if they would just ship my PX3... |

What they can cram into that little rig is amazing. It's fast approaching blivit status.

I've often wondered about the need for 50 and 75 Watt 2 Meter mobile rigs. Ever since I got into 2 Meters and repeaters, 10, and occasionally 25, Watts was all that was necessary for solid communications. I suspect it's more a marketing ploy than technical need. |

High power is for simplex, and the deaf repeaters I run into once in a while. Comes in handy out west where repeaters are farther apart. |

I can talk pretty much statewide with 5 watts and a decent antenna through the linked systems out here. Simplex is a different matter though. |
