Same here - I like it a lot - perfect size for just messing around - I
have the KX3 if
I want to get serious. :-)

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 tempted to ask, I have no plans to sell the K2 that
I built 10 years ago; rather I am giving it to my son).
I'm perhaps unusual in that I'm an avid DX'er who has never before
used a transceiver with "dual watch." So I'm finding the KX2 a perfect
trainer in learning to listen to both sides of a DX pileup at once,
using a stereo headset. I may be wrong, but the KX2 does not appear
to have a balance control. However, the individual R/L volume controls
on my MFJ-392B headphones serve the purpose.
I made a ten watt QSO, and a five watt QSO with the recent CY9C
expedition, using dual watch. Great fun! Some day I will purchase a
second receiver for my K3.
Thanks to Elecraft for its continuing innovation and superb products.
