My āother Elecraftā is a KX1 with the internal ATU. Itās currently a triband, 40-30-20.
I have the KX3080 expansion kit to add 80m and improve receiver performance, but Iāve been too busy with SOTA activations to take the rig out of service long enough to install the kit!

I would be interested in whether someone uses the MCHF SDR trx by m0nka. Or one of the many Chinese clones.
A few years ago I assembled it from hundreds of smd components and used it for sota for 2 years. Now I prefer the KX2

I voted for 3 options. One of them was ĀØOtherĀØ because the SW-3B, I think that this little toy for its price and the support given, deserved to be named.

My āotherā is an MTR-3b. My āOther Elecraftā is a KX1, which I love. The KX2 gets the most use, however.

Iām wondering if someone else is using one of the LNR portable radios 
from time to time Iām using the MTR-3B.

Maybe those should be in the KD1JV category since they were originally offered as kits

I do, and with an internal ATU and better antenna switching it is the rig of choice - a LOT lighter than the FT817. The 817 is only used now when I intend to use V/UHF or 13cm

Ah, OK I misread.
How is an MTR defined?
The original kits were designed and produced by KD1JV.
The LNR Precision MTRs were commercially made and I would think largely out number the MTRs built at home from kits.
I have one commercial MTR, and old MTR-3B and then I have 3 MTRs that Iāve built myself from kits supplied by Steve Weber.
I think itās interesting how radios have changed over my time in SOTA - no mention of the āclassicā portable CW rigs in the list - MFJ Cub, K1SWL SW+ or N6KR SST.

Edit after re-reading the thread.
It depends on the purpose of the survey, but I think the LNR Precision radios should be defined differently to the home built KD1JV radios.
Strange these statistics, when the overall sum is greater than 100% 
73, Nico
Not really, when you can vote for as many rigs as you use for HF /P. I ticked FT-817 and HB1B for instance.
The percentages reflects what proportion of the survey participants use that rig - not the percentage that each rig gets used on SOTA.

Thatās too fine a detail for this level Colin, really KD1JV says enough about the radio being used. Thereās 3 types of QCX on 5 bands how many categories do we need for that? This is a high level view.
Or why not go even further and define each rig individually by serial number? That way we can have a multiway tie between hundreds of rigs all scoring one vote.
