Gordon,
I am a brand new owner of a KX2, specifically purchased for POTA activations
where I cannot just drive up and

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.
Today a fellow OM (also owner of a KX2) helped me to configure WSJT-X
and I had my first FT8 QSO with my KX2. But my
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

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’
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
picture on my QRZ.com page. It is easy for me to remember my radio's S/N =
1234! There have been many successful outings to beaches on the north and
south shores of Long Island with the LICW and LIQRP clubs.

You won't hear much about a fantastic radio. I have used lots of QRP radios
and the KX2 beats the crap out of all, including the other Elecraft QRP radios

could shrink it more?
Have a great day!

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
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.

I have used a KX2 for several years. Very pleased with it overall. I use it
portable at home to make operating outdoors easy but I also enjoy SOTA and
POTA operations when time and location permit. For a time I used it as my
only rig coupled with a KXPA-100 amplifier. It has a very nice, well
Hi Dan,
Look on the Elecraft site under Support, KX2 enhancements. I hope I have link

Hi Gordon,
It's a safe bet that there are a thousand or more KX2 owners represented on
this list. There are also many frequenting the KX2/KX3-specific list,

I use mine every weekend :)

Hi Gordon,I have a KX2 s/n under 250. I'm not a hiker but I operate on the
ocean beaches in WA state and up at Mt Rainier NP. In the field I use the AX1
ant on a camera tripod. Works very well. The only mod was the 2nd harmonic mod
to the transmitter. Excellent portable/field radio!Enjoy 73Jim
I have a KX2.
