And the ability to monitor amp-hours consumed is more than just a gee-whiz 
feature. It is quite a useful attribute allowing one to fairly accurately judge 
how much longer a battery will last.

I forgot to add: built-in tilt-stand for 3-point placement on rough surfaces, 
and a form factor that allows for rapid-deployment, HT-style operation with 
whip antennas.

Hi Arthur,

I'm not sure if anyone will be videoing Don's talk (I'm just an interloper). 
You might ask the hamfest organizers.

Regarding the KX2's optimizations applicable to SOTA, here's the short version: 

Small size, low current drain, long battery life, high power output, 9-band 
coverage, SSB/CW/DATA modes, wide-range ATU that works with ad-hoc antennas, 
built-in mic, attached keyer paddle, daylight-readable backlit display, CW/DATA 
and DVR message buffers, and many DSP features for weak-signal work including 
APF, dual watch, NR, and NB.

[Elecraft] QRP/outdoors/SOTA/KX2 presentation at the Palm Springs hamfest, Feb. 4th

[Arthur Gunn]

The subject hamfest is too far away to attend but "the SOTA related 
optimizations embodied in the KX2" that Wayne will talk about is of great 
interest. Wayne, is there a way to share this information or the presentation 
with us after your Feb 4 presentation?

[Elecraft] QRP/outdoors/SOTA/KX2 presentation at the Palm Springs hamfest, Feb. 4th

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

Don Minkoff, NK6A, will be giving a talk on outdoor QRP operation and Summits 
on the Air (SOTA) at the Palm Springs Hamfest on Feb. 4th. 

I'll be joining Don to describe some related optimizations embodied in the 
Elecraft KX2.

See you there!

73,
Wayne
