Hi Craig I would go for the 200Hz filters, not the 250Hz. I added the 200Hz to my main and sub receivers (already have the 400Hz) and they are a really worthwhile addition. That's my opinion FWIW. 73 Barry VK2BJ On 9 March 2018 at 03:57, Craig Buck <radiok...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ge

In transmit, the voltage was dropping from 13.3 to about 11 at the radio. The ground wire side of the power cable had worked loose within its terminal lug at the power supply, causing excess drop. Reattached and now the drop is just a few tenths of a volt. Problem solved. Barry W2UP

. It must be retaining heat through the 18 sec of down time before the next transmitting cycle, and this slowly raises the baseline temperature. This is evidently NOT a good use case for the KX2 at the 5 watt level, except perhaps if the ambient temperature is low. 73, Barry N1EU On Thu, Nov 23, 2017
