Hello Gordon,
this is another KX2 user ;-)
I bought mine last year and did not really use it regularly so far, just
a bit listening on the bands, but that should change very soon.

I can confirm the good reports on the KX2. I've been using mine for a
couple years for portable operations, without a hitch. The receiver
sounds almost as good as my K3.
The battery is good for 5 or 6 hours of CW contest operation at 10 W. If
you really want to keep the weight down, the KX2 ba
The rest of it has sold, thank you very much; I still have the K3 for sale, and
had forgotten to list one of the features… New, it cost about twice my price so
I think it represents excellent value. $3,000.00

If you have more than that, you need to do some antenna work.
VSWR is NOT an indicator of antenna performance, it's only an indicator

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

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’ o
After indicating a good match, example 7285, the radio will flash HIGH SWR
momentarily on the next attempt to transmit and then no further message but
little or no power out. Using external tuner with either antenna output it
operates as expected.

Well, I think my question has been answered and validated. By the Whiskers of
Gabby Hayes... All you old guys know who I am talking about...
I feel like I'm in good company of KX2 fans. When I run up against a problem
that needs the Logic of Spock .. I know where to ask.
Many, many thanks to all
Them's fightin' words!
When you have local interference, NOTHING beats a KX3 and it's superior
adjacent frequency rejection!
When you're XC skiing, every ounce counts, and you need bulletproof
durabilty, NOTHING beats a KX1 in a Pelican 1060 micro-case! I've fallen
on mine dozens of times!

I rode my bike to the beach and made a few QSOs with the KX2 and AX1. I put a

south shores of Long Island with the LICW and LIQRP clubs.

Not directly that I'm aware. Personally, I have a Bird 43P on the
output of the amp. That way I can read the forward power and then
reflected power with a reasonable amount of accuracy. Then using the
Bird VSWR Nomograph I can accurately determine VSWR.

I have a KX2 serial # 41 .. which I have had since the beginning. I
remember hustling over to the Elecraft booth at DAYTON, as they
announced the radio & instant availability at Dayton ( 50 some sets at
the fest)...
My KX2 is mounted in my VW right where I wanted it drives the
KXPA10
Is there any way to make the KPA500 display reflected power?

Hi Dennis,
I don't intend to discourage experimentation, but its useful to be aware
of the underlying science before investing time, money and effort with
low probability of a successful outcome.

I am going to upgrade to a KPA1500 and as such I am selling my amp and
tuner. I have loved them, they have been excellent, but I will be going
from great elecraft gear to great elecraft gear. I got these out of the
boxes, placed them in my shack and they have stayed there. They have not
been moved
Mark, big congrats!
I am really happy that you successfully finished your K2 and it is working
as it should.
You made a great job!
I have my own K2 #4800 still in the setup and I will never sell it as I like
it too much :)
I am sure you will make a lot of nice QSOs and you will enjoy it.
See you on
John,
big congrats! happy to hear that you have your K3 back in perfect order.
See you on the air soon and enjoy your K3 again.

Yup, I’ve got one here - it keeps my K3-Line company. Use it for QRP operating,
usually in the back yard when weather permits. Nice little rig.

The major issue I've found in using VOX for data modes lies in the fact
that any noise {hum, buzz, clicks, broadband noise, Windows sounds,
RFI, etc.} coming out of the computer can and will trigger the VOX.
This is specially true if the VOX gain is too high. Also, the VOX delay
does affect
VOX is a lot easier to configure for digital modes than is is
for voice because, all the digital modes -- at least that I know
about -- are either on or off. None of them use different volume
levels to encode data. This means that you just have to find a
setting between zero volume and full vol
