I have recent experience with a KX1 in a similar but less severe valley:
I operated recently from 3 spots in Yosemite:
- down in the valley (KX1, RX only)
- atop an 8000' granite dome with 2 wires on the ground (KX1, one
contact in 15 minutes)
- just south of the park in a forested area at

No only that but you can have complete remote control over your K2 station.

Hi Don and everyone else,
The ability of software such as HRD to control a K2 is what gave me the
idea for a hardware front panel extension that would interface through a KIO2.

evening. Just about everytime I've gotten on the air, I've managed
