Bill, I think you'll really like the KX2 (I have one of the "other rigs," too, which I use for 2m/440). The KX2 has one-third the current drain, twice the power output, 5x larger display, IF DSP, ATU, DVR, built-in data modes, attached keyer paddle and a built-in mic. Oh, and it's half the size/weight.
Have fun! 73, Wayne N6KR On Jul 6, 2016, at 6:13 PM, Bill <k9...@live.com> wrote: > Phil, > > That's my issue. I just want it.
