Howdy Gang:
Was able to take my KX2 out for Field Day for a while on Sunday and made a bunch of contacts. Operated all CW save for one SSB contact...just to try that mode out (grin). I was pleasantly surprised at how well the KX2 handled all of the strong signals on the bands...no overload and selectivity was excellent. Even worked stations on 15 and 10M.....bands I had presumed dead based on zero activity during the previous week. Purchased the rig with the accessory battery and charger and they play well together. Hardly put a dent in the battery after an hour or so of operating. Overall, a really fun experience for the first time out portable with the KX2....and it performed extremely well. With its internal tuner and battery and very small size, the KX2 is an excellent choice for portable ops. I thought the KX3 was the ultimate fun-portable rig......until now (grin). Elecraft has hit another one out of the park with this little rig. 73, Joe W2KJ I QRP, therefore I am ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
