Re: [Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts

This ones in the book Thanks to Gary at Elecraft!!! He had me do Automated Gain Control Calibration using the Kx2 Utility. Fixed it right away. Now every time I key up on 10 Meters with 10 Watts the RF meter moves as it should. Thanks everyone for the help!!! -- Sent from:

Re: [Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts

Hey Bob, I am using the KX2. And what I am referring to is the RF Meter, not a watt meter. The crazy thing is it only happens on 10 meters. When I have the radio set to 10 Watts and key the Mic, the RF Meter will not move when I talk. If I set the watts to 9.6 the RF Meter moves every time I

[Elecraft] RF Meter Doesn’t Move when radio set to 10 watts

Been trying to figure out why every once in a while “Ext. Mic” will display on the screen when transmitting. I’m working with Elecraft on it currently. My question is; does anyone notice when you have the radio set to 10 Watts the RF meter only shows on bar? When I set the radio below 9.8 watts

Re: [Elecraft] Ext Mic Displayed on kx2 screen?

Hey Dave, thanks for the reply. I’m using the mic that came with the radio. It does have the buttons. Another thing that is happening is that the frequency is jumping sometimes by 1 kHz, I thought I was bumping the dial but that’s not the case, I was watching the screen and the frequency jumped

Re: [Elecraft] KX2, is the ATU activated when you key the mic?

I didn’t see any smoke or smell anything. I don’t think the power was limited but can’t be sure. Pisses me off that I just got this radio, actually read the manual and thought Autotune meant it automatically tuned when you key the mic! Now with my OCD I have to wonder if the radio is operating at

Re: [Elecraft] KX2, is the ATU activated when you key the mic?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2, is the ATU activated when you key the mic?

Hey Don, thanks a lot buddy!!! So I ran it all yesterday and today without the radio being tuned to the Antenna! I only tried to make a few contacts but one I tried for a good 5 minutes. The Antenna measured by an antenna analyzer was around 4:1 you think I did any damage? Thanks again Don!

[Elecraft] KX2, is the ATU activated when you key the mic?

Hey guys, Just got my KX2, I thought when you keyed the mic and the ATU was set to Auto it would Tune the Antenna? I was just operating it and the swr meter was off the chart on 10 meters. I had been operating the radio a few times before I noticed the swr meter was high. Hoping I didn’t mess
