Hi folks,
I just got back from a weekend camping and hiking with my KX2. This was the
first time I took the KX2 out with the bigger CS80 soft case, and I used
the extra room mostly to carry my MH3 mic, which I kept when I sold my KX3.
I thought I'd share my experiences, as they might be useful to

Hi folks,
I bought an XG3 a while ago, but I no longer need most of its
functionality. All I expect to need in the future is an XG50 for
extended-temp calibration of the KX2/3. If anyone would like to trade an
XG50 + $80 for an XG3 with a USB cable, in perfect condition, let me know.

As I understand it, to remote-mount a KXPA100, while maintaining the

port to the PC. Is that correct?

Hi Elecraft folks,
Not sure how feasible it might be, but adding a mini-banana ground jack to
the KX3, just like as on the new KX2, would be a huge upgrade in my
estimation.
Thanks again, and keep innovating.

I'm a little puzzled by your question, and I suspect others are too. The

one. The most primitive antenna that can actually be built is a

Did you have a counterpoise when you swept the antenna? If not, you're only
looking at half your antenna, especially as the RigExpert is almost all

Most of the electrical length of these physically-short whips is in the
loading coal. Adjusting the length of the 40m whip as you describe would
only move the resonance point around within the 40m band. To move the
resonance point between bands, you'd need to tap the coil. MFJ makes such a
whip;

Hi folks,
For 40m, 30m, and 20m, the KX1 docs recommend a ~24' length of
sorta-vertical #24 wire with shorter counterpoises as a good field antenna.
I've set that up for my KX1 and KX3, and (unsurprisingly) it works well on
both.
For 80m, the KX1 docs recommend a resonant antenna, and I'm
