Trying to get RTTY running on my KX2, but no luck, so far.
The KX2 is setup for WSJTx and works properly (TX and RX) with both
straight audio cables to the computer and through a SignaLink USB. My
conclusion from this is that the audio connections and audio gains must
be set relatively close.

W2KJ de KX2CW — I have a SideKar Plus, and it works exactly as advertised
(which is to say: great)! The SideKar and KX2 talk to each other via 38,400

Why not use a 7812 three terminal regulator? It will accept up to 30 V
on the input, deliver 12 V on the output at 1.5 amps. These cost about

Looking more carefully, the frequency down-jumping glitch occurs on my KX3

If switching from “MIC BTN” to “PTT” fixes the problem, then it must be related
to the way firmware reads the mic buttons. it could be that we need to tweak
the A-to-D thresholds a bit.
Anyone who has this issue could use the “PTT” setting as a work-around,
assuming they don’t require the
I used to have this issue (KX3) - I don't recall if it went up or down (I
think down). I assumed that I was inadvertently pushing the microphone
buttons & subsequently switched the "MIC BTN" menu item to "PTT". I have
not had the problem occur again.

I’ll try to duplicate this (never seen it myself).

Hi Adrian,
My KX3 has demonstrated this “feature” from the very beginning. As you
describe, it always jumps down exactly 0.01 and only ever as I hit PTT on
the hand mic. I’m happy to know I’m not alone!

Has anyone else with the KX2 noticed it will lower frequency on occasion when
you press PTT on the external mic? I’m definitely not moving the vfo or mic
up/down buttons. For example say I’m on 7.195.00 it will drop to 7.194.99, it
never goes up only down. It’s rather annoying.

Thought I would try this here first. I bought a KX2 to use with
mobile/potable operating and some backpacking. but my knees and other
changes put a stop to that and have me going in a different direction. So,

That's the first thing I tried.
While in USB/LSB or AM, tapping the KYR-SPOT/MIC knob toggles between
"13 WPM" and "MIC 30" on the VFO B display, but does not change the
meter to SWR/RF.
The next clue is that I do see the SWR/RF meter when in CW mode, but not
in USB/LSB nor in AM. When I
You have to be in a mode other than CW, then tap the KYR-SP/MIC knob to
switch between CMP/ALC and SWR/RF. Enjoy!

I just upgraded my KX2 to v2.89 firmware, and discovered that I can no
longer get the "SWR/RF" scales to display when I transmit in any mode.
Perhaps I missed a release note that described this change, but I seemed
to remember that these scales were the default, and that the CMP/ALC
displays only
