10 meter FM on the KX2?

I heard from one of our UK customers that 10 meter FM would be very useful on the KX2, at least in his area. If there’s enough demand for this, we could add it.

The KX2 puts out 10 watts and has a built-in mic. Combined with a 10-meter whip it would work well as an HT on this band.

Gets my vote--we've got a 10 meter repeater here in Tucson!

Wayne,

I can support the addition of 10 FM to the KX2.  It would be an outrageous 10 meter HT!  Since 10 meters is flat, well at least for us up north, playing 10 meter repeater on Es would be a blast.

i think that would be a great idea. I still dream of the day Elecraft has an all mode portable so I can buy it for satellite work (hint hint, just in case you’re not aware that you would capture the hearts of thousands of portable satellite operators)

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced !
