That is impressive! Especially from the Great White North!

Hi folks ... Today I made my 100th QSO using the AXE1. So far (40 and 20
meters combined) and with 5 or 10 Watts (KX2-KX3-AXE1-AX1), the average
distance of contacts is 1581 km with a maximum of 5635 km. Very nice
antenna for portable operations. ...

Dear Gang:
I finally got a chance to try out my AX1 for picnic table ops in a Sunnyvale,
CA park. On day 1, I worked a guy in Phoenix from my KX3 on 20m--after 2 CQ
calls. Day 2, I got skunked. Yesterday, with 20m packed with contest signals,
I put on the 40m coil and immediately worked a

I am happy to learn that you had good success.

I believe there was concern about charging a Lithium based battery
inside the radio.
Would you want to bet your KX2's life on the risk of a battery fire?
I know the arguments about cellphones and laptops, but some of those
were catching fire at the time the KX2 was designed and the decision
I find that I rarely use the internal KX2 battery unless I know I only have
a short time to operate. For longer outings I use a larger external pack or
I bring along my spare internal size packs but just plug them into the
external connector. Even at 12W the KX-2 sips power. Great piece of kit.
I got 25 or so removal/installs out of the KX2 battery before one of the power
leads broke off where it entered the battery pack. I figured it was a
manufacturing defect where the wire fatigued without support of the insulation.
I replaced it with a 12v/5v 6 Ah lithium pack for about half of
It will not charge now. It would be GREATLY convenient if it could.
In simplest case, allow charging from DC input if input voltage is <=12.6V
and charge current is < 2A.
Not sure what is the reason not to allow it. Perhaps concerns about
counterfeit batteries without a chip, and possibility of
Having had an external LiPoly R/C battery burst into flames while
plugged into my KX1, I don't think I'd ever put Lithium
inside my radio. I know there are a bunch of lithium chemistries, some
less volatile than others, but watching the little package "sparken und
fizzen" on our gravel
The KX2 battery will NOT charge from the external power jack - the
lithium battery must be removed for charging. Unless handled with a
heavy hand, the bottom of the KX2 will withstand many, many removals and
installs.
If you are concerned about removing the bottom of the KX2, you can

Thank you for the suggestion. Here is something similar:

My thinking with KX2 that I take it with me,without anything external, use
portable, and then at home charge via
Use a USB-C PD power bank, and a USB-C power sink, and you can power the
KX2 handily. I can power my KX3 that way, and most of my other QRP rigs as
well. The sink I use is the PD Buddy Sink found on Tindie. It handshakes
with the PD power bank and provides 12v at 2-3A (depending on the bank). I
This is a QRP radio that likes traveling. Mine has even been on a small boat
ride in Adriatic sea... Or working DX SSB in a contest big time (with 9A1A
antennas).
If only a USB charge can be added. I am afraid that the radio will survive
only so many case openings...

I speculate two issues, RFI usually due to CMC. For 160M one should
employ a good common mode choke on the feedline at the antenna feed
point and another at the radio. See the research of K9YC on this
topic. Secondly, a logging program issue. N1NM has been documented to
occasionally
I am glad to hear I am not going crazy. I was using N1MM when this happened.
Twice during the contest N1MM froze and I had to shut it down and restart. I
had loaded the latest version of the program a day before the contest. I will
look to see if any settings need changing. Thanks for the note

Hi Greg,
Yes, we experienced this during field day with KK5W. At first we thought
there was a problem with one of the 9 K3 rigs, so we swapped it out. It
happened again with the replacement rig. It was finally diagnosed to be
RFI that was causing the problem. I am willing to bet you are
Are you using N1MM? I had the same thing happen for about a 10 minute period
during the contest and clicked a few fields on N1MM related to RIT and it
stopped. I meant to go back after the contest and learn about N1MM control of
the RIT but my poor memory took over and I forgot about it!
