I recommend to the list the recently discovered treatise by Aristotle, “On Trolling”, translated by Rachel Barney. "That trolling is a shameful thing, and that no one of sense would accept to be called ‘troll’, all are agreed; but what trolling is, and how many its species are, and whether

Just an observation on the KX2 vs KX3: Elecraft is still making KX3's so I'm guessing they do not see the KX2 as replacing the KX3, but more of augmenting the product line. Therefore, I do not expect a migration by a significant number of KX3 owners as was seen with the K3s from the K3. BTW

Amazing news, Wayne. Allow me a couple of questions: a.) Will it support the 8 kHz IF shift as in the KX3? Otherwise probably the same trouble as with the KX3 with AM breakthrough (which is a problem here in Europe and rendered my KXFL3 useless lot's of times as I had to switch on the IF

Introducing the Elecraft KX2 transceiver -- the newest member of our compact KX Line. The KX2 has features very similar to the KX3, at about half the size and weight. It fits easily in a jacket pocket. It can even be used hand-held, with a built-in mic to facilitate HT-style operation.
