Good Evening,
Both bands had 4 S-unit QSB. On twenty meters there was more noise
on the inverted-V compared to the 1/4 wave vertical. On forty meters
the vertical had more noise. The new antenna performed well bringing
more signals out of the noise.
The time change for forty meters
Bill,
Take a look at the Pro Audio Engineering power supply. Although it was
designed initially for the KX3, it works very well with the KX2. No RFI
on the ham bands, so you can regard it as a noise-free switching supply.

Bill,
I don't know if this helps or not, but for Field Day, I used a deep cycle
marine battery to power my KX2. Worked like a charm.

For an AC supply IMHO there is only one choice.

Friends:
I like to use my KX2 in my office with a wire out the window to a tree,
largely for listening, e.g. to ARRL code practice. I normally use the
internal battery and charge it up ever couple of weeks.
I am wondering if KX2 owners have used a DC supply to power this--short of

Even in my professional life I operate using a philosophy of three simple

Simple enough, and I have made contacts on my KX2 using an umbrella frame on a

How about using the footswitch to interrupt the MIC line before it gets to

One of my favorite portable antennas is a homebrewed link dipole for 40,
30, and 20m. I tuned it very carefully for the middle of the CW portion of
each band, but it's still fairly well tuned in the SSB portions of 40 and
20. I still use a tuner with it for phone, though, just to keep from

Last night in NAQP I noticed that on 80 meters my tuner would hunt
endlessly, calling for tune power, then finishing, then asking again
with the ATU IN LED blinking. I retrained the memory on each relevant

Let's start with Kevin KD5ONS and his 40m vertical. A great monobander and I'm
sure it performs very well on that band. He tells us it works great on most
other HF bands as well, using the wonderful Elecraft matching ability. Had he
stayed with that one antenna on that one band

I prefer to use resonant antennas, either single or multi band and not use a
tuner, however, I have encountered that even resonant antennas are not always
so due to ground conditions,
