Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

We found the problem; turns out to be in the setup command to the DSP, not in the DSP itself. With any luck we'll have it fixed this week in both rigs. Wayne N6KR http://www.elecraft.com > On Aug 1, 2017, at 6:29 PM, K9MA wrote: > > Another interesting detail, I

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

Another interesting detail, I think. For the KX3, if I recall correctly, both the QST review and Sherwood's tests indicated that the audio image (opposite side of zero beat) wasn't all that far down, like 60 dB, and limited close-in dynamic range. I don't recall any such qualifications for

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

The problem described below also exists in KX3, That is why I always adjust bandwidth to 50,150,250, 350 etc Hz. 73, Igor UA9CDC 01.08.2017 16:25, John Reilly пишет: Here are the odd details on the KX2 filter leakage. If the filter bandwidth is 500, 400, 300, 200 or 100 Hz, filter

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

A ”temporary” FW fix may be to make the BW settings reside on 50Hz boundary’s every 100Hz i.e. 150,250,,,2150,,, as adjusted. I doubt if the ‘tween settings “00” would be missed. 73 de Ben W4SC. __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

The cause of this is likely to be straightforward. One of our software engineers is looking into it. Once we have the fix in place, we hope to get a KX2 to Rob for retesting. A temporary workaround (if needed due to QRM) is to use 450 instead of 500 Hz, etc. Wayne N6KR

I'd be interested in reading the longer KX2 report he mentions but couldn't find it on his site. Anyone have a link? John AE5X http://ae5x.blogspot.com/ _ >My long form report on the KX2, available in PDF format, .

[Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

John, N0TA, forwarded this question to me about why I listed the KX2 close-in dynamic range at 3 kHz rather than the more typical 2 kHz. Some radios have limitations that make a measurement at 2-kHz impossible or invalid. If a valid measurement cannot be made at 2 kHz, then it is made at some

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

Just a couple weeks ago I took my KX2 out to a local park during my lunch break and made a contact using it as a HT, using the MFJ-1820T and a 12' counterpoise. From setting it up and makinge a quick 20m SSB contact took me all of about 3 minutes. Yeah, it's not the preferred technique, but it

[Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

I notice that the KX2's narrow dynamic range is tested at a 3 kHz bandwidth. Other radios on Sherwood's list are measured at either 2, 3 and 5 kHz. Doesn't this make direct comparison between various radios (and list order - since they are listed by dynamic range order) invalid? John AE5X

Yes that roofing filter is where it’s at. I always recommend that to anyone if they are looking to purchase a KX3. Love mine. Frank KG9H > On Jul 27, 2017, at 10:30 PM, Mike Morrow wrote: > > I was surprised that the KX2 ranked **18** positions BELOW the KX3. That >

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

Not 'hand held', but I did use the MFJ telescoping whip for 20m with a right angle BNC adapter with the KX2 next to me on a park bench a couple weeks ago and worked AZ from MN. With the internal battery, that whip, and some wire for a counterpoise, it takes almost no time to set up. On Thu, Jul

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list ..

I was surprised that the KX2 ranked **18** positions BELOW the KX3. That shows the KX3 is a really remarkable world-class achievement. Plus, at least an early system schematic (excluding the KX3-2M two-meter module and PX3) is available. That leaves the KXBC3 battery/RTC as the only
