I saw a KX3 for sale on ebay that had some aftermarket side plates that incorporated grab handles and a lexan face cover. I emailed the seller and he told me he found them on the Elecraft mailing list.
In viewing some of the posts on that list, I also found that some folks had added some other pretty neat accessories that I thought I'd share here:
Lapel mic:
Short goose neck mic:
An even shorter 90 degree 'turn your KX3 into a hand held walkie talkie' style mic:
I now regret spending $59 for the OEM hand mic since seeing several types of small electret condenser mics that only cost a few bucks from many ebay vendors.
... and this little LiOn 6800mAh battery pack (for less than $25.)
Still haven't found where to acquire the grab handle/side plates, but I'm definitely gonna order all of the mics and one of the battery packs. For the price, how can one go wrong ???
