Hi,My suggestions on options. Get the ATU, it tunes anything. If you are going to do SOTA, you need a battery and a charger. The KX2 internal battery is not cheap but it is inside the radio so you won't forget it and it is light weight. Mine lasts many hours. I'm not a CW operator so I can't say much but the KXPD2 is slightly lighter and the adjustment tool is part of the paddle. Jim HK7SSS

Just checked and my CU deposited what I thought the cost of a complete station should be into my account. These isolate in place options are dangerous, it was to easy to do this on-line. Not sure I want to spend it now though - preliminary buyer’s remorse? Think I’ll go over everything again, maybe have forgotten something. Let's see, antenna and feed line, check; inverted V support pole, check; and radio, check (except what paddle). Haven’t nailed down exactly what all other options might as well be purchased along with the radio either. That’s ok, got about a week before moving out to a nice country hill side a handful of miles out of the city limits. Been looking forward to this for a long time and want to savor it for a while. ______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlMessage delivered to k7...@aol.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
