Re: [Elecraft] using the KX2 as a remote control head for K3

Igor, The KX2 does not yet have the rig-control feature of the KX3. This would be fairly easy to add. However, it is only a limited parametric controller; see page 28 of the KX3 manual. K3-to-K3 remote control mirrors the front panel directly. For that you need a K3, K3S, or K3/0-mini at the

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Selling IC-7300 For Friend

Yes, firmware corrections and new functionality are some of the many great things Elecraft does. With the K2 you could get a new MCU chip, I don’t recall if there was one for the K1. But with the Gen 2 radios and their ability to take a MCU and/or DSP update it is over the top. I knew a

Yes. I built my K3 kit in 09 and sold it to a friend who wanted another K3 to match his other two K3's. I wanted a K3s so applied that sale to buying the K3s, moved over that which was worth doing (upgraded Sub RX/filters and a few other things and upgraded the rest so it's now a current

I think Ham radios from everyone follow more of the Elecraft business model. The IC718 was introduced in 2000 or earlier and it is still sold. I think the 7300 is wildly successful (not trying to start a flamewar, but it is the best selling rig at many dealers) and they likely have economies of

Re: [Elecraft] Stupid KX2 straight key question.

Brad, While either will work for the KX2, I would suggest wiring only to the tip and shell (leaving the ring open) - and set the KX2 menu correctly for that configuration. That same key can then be used on other transceivers (even those which accept a mono plug) that do not have the

Most Japanese companies design a product (radio, computer, whatever) and do one production run. Then they reset the production line and make something else. If the product was wildly popular, they might reset the line and do a second run, but most likely there will be at least some redesign,
