Hi- I eagerly updated my KX2 firmware to ver 2.68 and had some fun test driving the AM RX on some of the SWBC bands. Out of curiosity, I wondered how it stacked up against my Kenwood TX590S and my EAC R-390A RX. I was impressed with how well it sounded once I beefed up the audio with some cheap computer speakers. It was not in the same ballpark as the others audio-wise, but it sounded surprisingly well for a "pocket" radio. I grabbed my phone and made a quick and dirty video of the comparison, using R. Nacioanal de Amazonia as the source and a G5RV @ 70ft as the antenna - switched to each rig. See

Japan and the BBC by the campfire from my backpacking camp on the WA coast next week.in between working DX. 72! -john, k7hv ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
