Does anyone own a QRPWorks Ham Central Terminal and use it with a KX2?
I'm thinking adding one to my KX2 and looking at ya or na opinions.

Thanks,

I run one with my KX3, it is nice.  The only foible to announce is occasional key bounce from an external keyboard.  Need to track that one down.  This is with no common ground between the terminal and the KX3.

It is a little piggish on 9V batteries, the current consumption dictates that you may want spares on hand for a lengthy contest or run with external power.

Ed, Howard,

The HCT draws less than 20 ma with the backlight off, which is typical when using it outdoors (it has a transflective display).   With the backlight off, a 9V Alkaline battery should last approx. 20 hours.  2.5 times longer with a 9V Lithium battery.

With the backlight on, it is going to draw more current naturally, but you can control that with 5 levels on intensity provided.

And you have the option of powering it externally, if you like.
