I understand Larry. ?Your KX-3 is more than capable for a short walk to a picnic table for POTA activation. ?I love POTA for that very reason as a 62 year old myself is not that physical of an activity and allows me to get out in nature and run my radios. ?I've made a few POTA YouTube videos on my K9AT YouTube channel that are informative and funny. ?Finally you're right, that TX-500 is lonely on your shelf. ?Fortunately with the new technology these days we don't have to worry about that radio's caps drying out from inactivity like our older rigs. ?:)
