[Elecraft] KX2/KX3 and SideKar Plus
Hi Joe, Let us know if you have any question about the SideKar Plus. It was specifically made to enhance your RTTY, PSK, and CW experience when using the KX2 or KX3. Plus the messaging and logging features are great when portable. I used them extensively for my 5300+ NPOTA portable QSOs. 73, Shel KF0UR QRPworks, LLC www.QRPworks.com --- Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 16:23:36 -0500 From: "Joseph Trombino, Jr" To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] KX2/KX3 and SideKar Plus Howdy Gang.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2/KX3 and SideKar Plus
W2KJ de KX2CW — I have a SideKar Plus, and it works exactly as advertised (which is to say: great)! The SideKar and KX2 talk to each other via 38,400 Baud RS232, and the SideKar effectively functions as a memory keyer—sans paddle input and speed control, as there is no need with the Elecraft radios because of the way the Elecraft internal keyer works: it creates text to send up the RS232, and the KX2 internal keyer speed control is a primary function knob on the front panel The QRPworks SideKar Plus has its quirks, but I still find it well worth it and enjoyable and easy to use, and it really is plug-and-play. Also, the [Mac version of the] SideKar Utility was easy to install and use. I think of it as a memory keyer which makes the most of the KX line’s own already excellent onboard capability FB es 73 de KX2CW .. ~Joan PS — I got mine with the standard-sized 2.4 GHz qwerty keyboard Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, said Piglet.
