By the way, I do remember reading that one should not put an amplifier
after the HB-1B as it might not then pass FCC requirements. So to me
that would be one excuse for taking the KX-3.
The original radio would not have passed FCC approval. It was sold as a
kit from China, then a relative of the vendor brought some kits into
Canada and sold them on eBay. Since they were kits, and not actual
radios, they did not have to have FCC approval.
Both MFJ and Ten-Tec bought rights to sell them assembled, and in order
to pass FCC approval had to add output filtering. I forget which, but
one company sold them as two band radios, and the other as single band.
