At Pacificon I discovered that some long-time KX2 and KX3 users were not aware of the Morse-audio feedback feature. This was provided for blind operators, but it's also useful for mobile, as well as too-tired-to-look-at-the-panel mode (e.g., halfway through Field Day).
To turn on Morse control feedback, set MENU:SW TONE to one of the "CODE nn" settings (nn is the code speed).
When this is in effect:
- Tapping switches or rotating controls emits their setting in Morse. For switch functions, a low tone indicates OFF and a high tone indicates ON.
- Morse feedback of the current VFO frequency can be obtained by tapping DISP.
- SWR and power output are also reported following TUNE or ATU TUNE.
Note for blind operators: We have plain-text versions of the KX2 and KX3 manuals available that physically describe all of the control locations.
