Re: [Elecraft] KX2 KXUSB Cable

Bret, I don't think that will work - it is apparently not a USB to RS-232 converter, and who knows what the signals at the plug might be. It is advertised as a charging cable, so it likely only pipes the USB connector +5V to the connected device. You can get a KXUSB cable from Elecraft in 3

I just can't find my KXUSB cable for my KX2 - not in the KX2 stuff box... Will one of these suffice until I find a reason to place an order to Elecraft? https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Audio-Adapter-Charge-Cable/dp/B00X77J9TQ/ref=pd_sim_23_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=59RSH9N3F8HBCVH9TCSM Bret/N4SRN -

Re: [Elecraft] [KX2] fast becoming my favorite radio

What are the *key* KX3 features which make it more "serious" than a KX2? I'm not looking for an exhaustive feature comparison. I can find that in the color brochure. For those who use a KX3 as their primary HF rig at the home QTH, which features (unique to the KX3) are critical? Joe KF5WBO -

Same here - I like it a lot - perfect size for just messing around - I have the KX3 if I want to get serious. :-) Tom, W1TEF On 8/28/2016 12:22 PM, Chuck Guenther wrote: I've only had KX2 serial No. 857 for about ten days. It was purchased as a replacement for my KX1, to be used primarily for

[Elecraft] [KX2] fast becoming my favorite radio

I've only had KX2 serial No. 857 for about ten days. It was purchased as a replacement for my KX1, to be used primarily for portable operations while on vacation. However, I'm finding it so much fun to operate it at home, it has displaced my K2-10 on my operating desk. (In case anyone is temp

It does work great for me; probably depends on the rig control software you are using; I use DXLabs Commander (and the rest of the suite). 73 de Dave, W5SV On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Robert 'RC' Conley wrote: > will the KX2 interface with a computer as my K3 does for computer control? > >

Pete, Fine that you are using an FTDI USB to serial adapter - but what is the connection from the DE-9 conncetor on that adapter to the KX2. If it is the KXSERa cable, then it should work fine, but if you have wired your own DE-9 to 3.5mm cable, then check it to make certain it has the corre
