I made this short video after a subscriber asked for my thoughts about choosing either the KX3 or KX2 as a first portable HF transceiver.

It's easy to compare specs, so I thought I'd share my reflections after having owned the KX3 since 2013 and the KX2 since 2016. I love both radios and (spoiler alert!) you really can't go wrong with either.
