[Elecraft] Elecraft KX2 compared with the latest "Ultra Portable"

I have both the FT- 817nd ( since ten years) and the KX-2 ( since about two years). The '817 used to be an unbeatable champion in the QRP rigs class for many years due to its versatility, all-band (160m -70cm) all mode features. It travelled with me all accross Europe and did a great job in

[Elecraft] KX2 echo in the speaker

Hello group, I have a bizzair effect in my KX2. When I touch the chassis of the radio each touch corresponds with the echo in the speaker. The radio is not connected to the antenna, could run on the battery or the PS, the effect is there. Touching also makes the Smeter bar move a bit. Does

[Elecraft] kx2 speaker

John, I am an owner of kx2 for a few years. I am amazed by the quality of the kx2 speaker. For such a tiny radio with so little space for a speaker , it is a very well designed construction of the back cover of the radio and the speaker itself! 73 de Linas LY2H On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at 4:43 AM,

[Elecraft] KX2 heatsink

Hello folks, I am looking for the practical , empyrical, real info based on the individual measurements of the maximum Key-down time/temperature at the 10w output of the KX2 before it drops down to 5 W issuing a message of "HI TEMP". I would also like to learn about comparison of the KX2 stock

Please check the D1/D2 chain, replace if necessary . I had the similar problem, Elecraft support advised me to do this. More info and the schematics on my Facebook page LY2H. 73 Linas LY2H Forwarded message -- From: Nr4c To: IU6ASS

[Elecraft] Good length off the antenna

Hello, 8,8m could be a good length for your pole to tune from 40-6 m. It is important to avoid the half wave lengths and its harmonics on the operating frequency because it will produce a very high ( kiloohms) impedance which normal tuner won't tune. Unless you go onpurpously for a 1/2 lambda

Re: [Elecraft] New KX2 firmware with 4 programmable functions and home/field ATU settings

Thanks Wayne! Pf1-Pf4 in the rev.2.75 works just great and makes my mobile operations so much easier! I have assigned Pf1 to VOX, Pf2 to XIT, Pf3 to BKLIGHT, Pf4 to DUAL RX ( that's more for fixed rather than mobile use). I have yet to discover the sense of having two ATU Data Sets. Theoretically

Re: [Elecraft] New KX2 firmware with 4 programmable functions; need testers

Good news and thanks! Looking fwd for this great improvement to be download-redy for the rest of us. I am a new (up to 2 months) KX2 user so the first things I found myself missing is more Pfn buttons, at least 2. Now there going to be 4 of them! So my first set would be PF1 =VOX, PF2= XIT,

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Matching Power Amplifier

No it doesn't, at least for the engineers who created this little tuner. Please check the Elecraft T-1 FAQ, :) *Q: What’s the highest power level the T1 can handle? Can I use my 30-40 watt amplifier?* *A:* The T1 is rated at 20 W SSB/CW and 10 W FM/AM/digital modes. However, to ensure that the

Nice idea! Before Elecraft steps-in to this PA market, I am using with great success and pleasure the Chinese MiNiPa50,:) AT 5-6 W in from the Kx2 it yealds clean and healthy 45-50 W output on the 80-20m bands and around 40W on higher bands. 6,6A current consumption at 13-14V. No 6 m , no ATU

Re: [Elecraft] RE/KX3 Future Accessories KX2

George, 100% supportt! I've been thinking even to swap the KX2 knob with the lovely-rubber-coated knob of the FT-817ND! Not sure yet if it is possible at all, :). Surely, anything original from Elecraft would be of no hesitations! Linas LY2H On 2017 kov. 30, kt at 17:47 George Sereikas

Re: [Elecraft] Future KX3/KX2 accessories?

1. I support very mich the idea or the need , really, of an in-built bluetooth rig control and audio I/o connection interface to a portable devices. For if you have an iPad or an iPhone you can not connect them to nothing and nothing can be connected to them by wires :). Yes, I have a Pigtail

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 ATU question

Dave, Pretty much the same to my experience. I have the T-1 for some 10 years and the KX-2 with the ATU installed for some 1 month, :). May be too early to make judgements but both tuners were equally good in tuning the random wire of some 9 m, also a 12m length vertical dipole fed by the 400

[Elecraft] KX2 on N1MM+

Hello group, Is it correct that KX2 does not support the CW/PTT operation through the DTR/RTS ports? I have tried it out on the N1MM+ logger with no success. It does control the VFO, the band/mode change but no sending CW from the logger nor switchin PTT. My K3 which has the menu item for the

As it reads in the manual these pins are reserved for the factory needs, :) I wouldn't sugest connecting anything to it. 73 Linas LY2H On 2017 kov. 19, sk at 12:32 kevino z wrote: > I'm assuming some sort of test port. Not really evident. If someone knows > please share...
