2022-02-22 Thread Nate Jedinak
Hello, all! Planning to list this on QRZ but thought I'd offer it here first. Everything you need for SOTA, POTA, Digi Modes. Open the box, and get started at home or afield! I've had great luck with this KX2, just not going to be using it much this year so I'd like it to go to someone who

I have replicated this behavior both with the internal as well as the MH3 external mic. Of course set at different mic gain levels, always per the manual which as you said suggests 5 bars of ALC. I have tried lower and higher mic gain settings just for fun, with the same results. I don’t

Hello! I recently purchased a KX2 (#757) from a friendly member of this list. I have a local 10m meetup I attend frequently, and I noticed a strange behavior that I'm now able to replicate. When I first switch to 10m, I have extremely low output power (one bar on the RF meter), even when set
