Touching is like you take the radio in to your hands, put it upside down on the table, removing the back pannel, or just like pushing buttons on the radio, or like taking a pen and slightly bumping on the chassis. I have tried to turn the mic's gain down to 0, but it didn't help. Linas LY2H

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

It would be a good idea if the KX2 could be modified in order to get the Band Data signal from the ACC socket, for as it is now it only provides with the Key Out signal. I don't know though how the Band info is arranged in the Kx2/KXPA100 combo, may be some RF sensor? 73 Linas LY2H On 2017
