Are these the mobile mounts recommended in this thread? The Sidekick... or are
there other KX2 specific mounts?
I just bought a KX2/KXPA amp combo.
Yes, it is more expensive than other mobile options, but the better mobile rigs
out there have been discontinued, and for new gear, this really isn't that much
more expensive overall, especially when I also want to grab and go with my KX2
for travel/backpacking/portable.

Scott from SideKX also has a very nice mobile mount that the KX2 just snaps
into. It in turn has holes for the very popular AMP mounting solutions.
I'm using this with a KX2 to drive a KXPA100 in my RAV4 (the one Bill, AE6JV -
the O.P. passed on the road that made him think about mobile op's :-) It fits
perfectly just below my dashboard in the center console.

A few weeks ago I passed a car with the license WA6HHQ and it got me to
thinking: What if Elecraft made a radio specifically designed as a mobile
radio? Here are some of my ideas:
It would have a UI designed to minimize driver distraction. This UI might draw
inspiration from the 5 button AM radios of old, which could tune pre-sets
without looking at the radio.
It would:
Cover 80M-6M with 2M and 70cm being nice additions.
Be available with 50-100W maximum output
Have a small control head with a separation cable if necessary.
Have a "hands free" operation option
One intriguing idea would be to use the smartphone interfaces available in
some newer cars to provide the entire radio UI in a form that is well
integrated into the auto console. Or at least use it as a panadapter display.

Ron:
Your measurements are very consistent with mine & I have been very pleased
with my KX1. I built it in 2014. I also fiddled with the toroid turns &
wasn't able to improve things. My measurements were as follows:
After completion @14.0 Vdc:
7.1-Mhz: 2.69 w
14.1 Mhz: 3.75 w
After 30-80 Install @14.0 Vdc:
7.1-Mhz: 1.97 w
14.1 Mhz: 2.22 w
After Power Modification @ 14.0 Vdc:
7.1-Mhz: 3.27 w
14.1 Mhz: 3.39 w
I have made a lot of qso's on this radio - I really like it.

Did RU this past weekend and could not get KIO3B to XMIT-Receive is fine using
MMTTY and N1MM. Ended up using my Signal Link for XMIT.
Here is what I know.
NO line in or out connections on back of radio (per earlier email I saw)
Radio control, frequency, etc. work fine-just updated firmware
USB Codec shows as USB Codec 3 on computer. I can see AFSK produced in transmit
on MMTTY screen and the silly meter in the sound control window. but no audio
reaches radio
DATA Mode is set for AFSK A (like I have always used it for SIgnal Link)
Even if I manually turn XMIT on no audio IN. (I am using VOX and not PTT) Do I
need to enable PTT?
I have tried switching MIKE to LINE IN to no avail.
What am I missing? Any help here would be appreciated.

OT: but I am going to add a couple cpu fans to the heat sink of my
KXPA100 which will be installed under the backseat of my truck. That
will ensure a little more cooling. The seat sets down on top of the
fins so the fans will be positioned to feed from one end. The
enclosure will be drilled with multiple 3/4 inch holes for airflow.
I will only run SSB so that is low duty-cycle. The internal overtemp
protect will engage if it gets too hot.

Dan,
It sounds like you are doing things right.
What is the Speaker slider on the computer set to? Open the playback
controls - normally set it to about 75%. The "meter" in the computer
soundcard display will not tell you the whole story. Go to the Playback
Controls to see the slider (Windows - Mac or Linux may be different).
Make sure there is nothing plugged into LINE IN (it overrides the Codec
line in). You may want to insert a plug into the LINE IN jack and
quickly remove it just to make certain the contacts in the jack close
properly.
You must set the MIC menu entry to LINE.
Set the audio level correctly (you can do that in TX TEST or connected
to a dummy load so you do not transmit RF). Tell your software
application to "transmit", then adjust the "MIC" gain (actually LINE if
you have set the menu correctly) until you have 4 bars solid with the
5th bar flashing.
If you cannot achieve that audio level by manipulating to Speaker slider
on the computer and the MIC Gain on the K3S, something is awry - contact
K3support for additional assistance.

Use AFSK A mode for RTTY. DATR A can also be made to work, but
my experience with AFSK A is much better. FSK D does not use the
sound card for transmission.
Make sure your computer is producing enough output drive. On my
Mac I need to go to System Preferences -> Sound and raise the
output volume all the way.
Make sure your application is addressing the correct USB device.
(Don't ask how I know.)
Input from the radio should work but might be low in volume.
Some of us set Config: LIN OUT to about 40.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
I've been testing the latest version of SDRplay RSP2 (
http://www.sdrplay.com/rsp2/.
I've been using the original SDRplay for a few months now and like the 2mhz
spectrum display using my K3's IF out and Win4K3suite.
Win4K3 (http://va2fsq.com/ ) has added support for the new release SDRPlay
RSP2 and likely will be doing additional enhancements to take advantage of
the SDRPlay RSP2 expanded device features.
It is really nice in that you can have 2mhz of spectrum in the panadapter
display in Win4K3 Suite.
That said, CWSkimmer does not yet support the SDRplay, but there are some
doing some work arounds with virtual audio cables (VAC). So, using a T
connector, I also use the IF Out with my LP-Pan2 and Steinberg UR22
soundcard with CWSkimmer.
The noise floor of the SDRPlay is really good and with adjustments, I am
able to see very weak signals coming out of the K3 IF.
