Same here - I like it a lot - perfect size for just messing around - I have the KX3 if I want to get serious. :-) Tom, W1TEF On 8/28/2016 12:22 PM, Chuck Guenther wrote: I've only had KX2 serial No. 857 for about ten days. It was purchased as a replacement for my KX1, to be used primarily for

[Elecraft] [KX2] fast becoming my favorite radio

I've only had KX2 serial No. 857 for about ten days. It was purchased as a replacement for my KX1, to be used primarily for portable operations while on vacation. However, I'm finding it so much fun to operate it at home, it has displaced my K2-10 on my operating desk. (In case anyone is

Re: [Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

Re:  "...the clock seems to lose a couple of minutes per month." I didn't buy the KXBC3 for the clock, and I don't expect it to automatically sync with WWV or GPS, but mine seems to be sensitive to applied voltage: If I leave 14v applied to my KX3, it gains a few seconds per day, probably not

[Elecraft] W-2 Wattmeter software

Hello to All, I'm having trouble with connecting to the W-2 wattmeter with the Elecraft W2 Interface software available on the website using an internet connection. The wattmeter is V1.00 software and the W-2 software is V1.12.1.18 The error is "Looking for a W2 on Network". I had this

Re: [Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

I think you overreact a bit, Mike. I can criticize Elecraft with the best of them if a product does not do as promised. But nowhere in any spec or promise have I seen highly accurate time-keeping -- but perhaps my reading skills fail me with age. In my shack I have a large LaCrosse clock,

Re: [Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

OTOH, many criticisms have resulted in improvements in the products. Wayne and Eric are quite capable of tolerating criticism, so owners are more than welcome to point out any deficiency or problem. That’s why people like Elecraft products: having the ear of the company. 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3

Re: [Elecraft] Does the KXUSBa (USB to 3.5mm) Have a Level Converter Inside?

Ken, I do not know the signalling voltage developed by the KXUSB. I do know that the KX3 (and other devices using the KUSB cable) are capable of receiving the full RS-232 levels, but will only send a 5 volt level. The KXUSB FTDI chip is powered from the USB 5 volt source, so it is a
