Shut, for a ham of over 60 years, your post inspires me to get more involved, find new stuff to do. I am getting into VHF-UHF again but will always be on the air looking for contacts. Good luck with your pursuits!
Have a great day!

I have been using a KX2 with the ATU a little over a year, my first and only radio. I love it and have had great success in field throwing a 58’ wire up a tree and a 13’ counterpoise on the ground. Been experimenting with different antenna at home, so far a folded dipole using about 128-130’ of wire being the best performer on 80/40/20m. I put together an external power supply using a security system sealed 12V battery in a small plastic ammo box, an auto lighter plug and a cheap voltmeter. I have operated for over two hours at 10W using this battery rig and the whole station fits in a small $15.00 backpack. You are not mistaken, however, posts regarding the KX2 are few and far between. The radio is simply that good! Keeping Watch- shu Joe Shuman, KE8KJZ > On Jan 29, 2020, at 22:05, Charles G.
