In Washington State, a few decades ago, we had problems with the State putting spaces, and even dashes, in Ham Call license plates. It took persistence to get them to understand that there are no spaces or dashes in ham calls. In related news, I worked a ham today on CW, and was told that he was using a KX2. I asked for a repeat and he confirmed a KX2. I replied that I understood he said a KX2, without getting any correction from him. Are you guys doing a new rig Beta test that I haven't heard about? This is exciting. A KX2 might be just the rig for me! But, my KX3 is doing everything I could ask for in a rig the size of a medium paperback. Maybe I will wait on the KX2!
