Wayne, After I used my KX2 using a KXB2 on the beach on the Windward side of Oahu, interfaced with a low end laptop on battery power and connected to a half wave dipole, a half wave from the surf, and hearing the quiet noise floor, q5 sigs and being heard and spotted all over north America and working into n NA, the EU and Asia qrp???
This is an awesome little go anywhere rig. But I do think that a big part of that formula was that nice wire at the beach with an infinite GP.. and not sure the whip would produce that result.. but probably could do pretty well in the same environment none the less. Grab and go rig.. best one around. ~Chris N6WM -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2017 7:04 PM To: John AE5X <[email protected]> Cc: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list Similar to our lab measurements. (Not bad for a 13 oz radio. If this were 1999, it would have been at the top of the list :) Question for KX2 users: Have you tried it hand-held with a whip yet? 73, Wayne N6KR > On Jul 27, 2017, at 6:11 PM, John AE5X <[email protected]> wrote: > > I haven't seen this mentioned here yet...KX2 receiver specs were added > yesterday: > > http://www.sherweng.com/table.html > > John AE5X > http://ae5x.blogspot.com/ ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
