Good Evening,    Signals were fair to OK on twenty meters.  Steve had fast QSB but noise was low.  Forty meters changed from the first minute onward.  Signals were strong but everyone faded with time.   Some signs of spring but only those to the south had flowers. There are pockets of snow

Nate, A couple more questions: Does the KX2 do the same thing on CW? Did Elecraft say anything about doing a TX gain calibration? This can be done with the KX2 utility although I haven’t done it on mine, just on my K3. It sets the per-band gain coefficients Be sure to save the current CONFIG

That’s an informative link. But what is missing from the upgrade firmware listings is the history of the upgrades. And they are not shown in the area where you buy the upgrade chip. On the K3, the latest firmware upgrade lists all the upgrade information from the beginning. Not so on the K2

This is nothing new.  Over 40 years ago I sold a Drake 4-line to a guy who saw my ad in QST.  The rig was in good operating condition, but he decided to send it in to Drake for a complete overhaul/tuneup, new tubes, etc. and subtracted the cost from what he sent me.  Basically he got a new

This is a little scary because at first glance this appeared to be a good listing with a 100% seller. The ad even included serial numbers. The "buy it now" price was ridiculously low and the request that it be done outside of eBay is against their rules. Plus I doubt that they would accept PayPal

I have replicated this behavior both with the internal as well as the MH3 external mic. Of course set at different mic gain levels, always per the manual which as you said suggests 5 bars of ALC. I have tried lower and higher mic gain settings just for fun, with the same results. I don’t

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

2021-02-28 Thread Brian Hunt
The KX2 uses a control loop to set power. Make sure you have sufficient audio drive to energize the loop. Using the ALC display set the MIC GAIN so you have 5-7 bars on voice peaks, per the manual. What MIC are you using? Have you tried the internal MIC? GL & 73, Brian, K0DTJ

Hello! I recently purchased a KX2 (#757) from a friendly member of this list. I have a local 10m meetup I attend frequently, and I noticed a strange behavior that I'm now able to replicate. When I first switch to 10m, I have extremely low output power (one bar on the RF meter), even when set

Don’t attempt to use a standard RS232 cable with the K2. You should be using a specially made cable which is shown in the manual. 73 Ian On 27 Feb 2021 at 21:25:28, Dave Sublette wrote: > Is the KUSB cable compatible with the K2? Should have asked this before I > bought the cable. My K2
