Re: [Elecraft] More KX2 recieve questions

[Nr4c]

If like the KX3 it works from zero down to -30 or lower.  Zero is MAX RF.

Re: [Elecraft] More KX2 recieve questions

[Augie "Gus" Hansen]

The RF gain on the KX2 ranges from -0dB to -60dB. Therefore 0 means no 
RF gain reduction.

The BW is at 2.80


I'm confused.  Are you working CW or SSB?  3564 is CW and your filter  
should be like .25, .30 or whatever you set it at in CW mode.  A filter BW  
of 2.80 is an SSB filter BW.  Do you have your KX2 in the wrong mode or  
some split mode?  (I.e., TX on one VFO, RX on another?)


What mode are you trying to work?

I am ocnfused what to do and or to look for. I could hear checkins on my  
Tribander and not a peep heard on the KX2


My KX2 is more than sufficiently sensitive and yours should be too with  
100' of wire in the air.  Most signals are quite clear and distinct with  
the audio set 8-12, and higher than that only for very weak signals.


So check that you are in the right mode, ensure RIT and XIT are turned off  
(for no offsets), and RX and TX both on VFO-A, then tune around and you  
should hear signals.  If not, let us know.  I've only used the KX2 on CW,  
but I've never seen the PREamp change to something else on its own without  
hitting the PRE button.  It should be in PRE mode for most work.

[Elecraft] More KX2 recieve questions

[Paul Smith]

I called the 4SQRP net tonight on 3564. I had my KX2 for a transmitter and my 
old tribander for receive. Here is what things are set at.

As I was instructed earlier the pre amp was on although the word pre on the 
screen went off 4 times during the net and the button took a couple taps to get 
the pre back on the screen. Is this normal?

The BW is at 2.80

RF gain is 0

NR is off

the APF is off when the button is held a narrow filter kicks in.

I am ocnfused what to do and or to look for. I could hear checkins on my 
Tribander and not a peep heard on the KX2

The antennas as before were 102 ft doublet and a zepp

Any ideas what to check next?

Thanks
