Hi all,
The KX2 logging feature we mentioned last week is now ready to be field tested. If you occasionally use CW/PSK-D/FSK-D modes on your KX2 in situations where logging is inconvenient or impossible, such as when operating hand held from a narrow ledge thousands of feet above a river gorge, this feature should be of interest.
Note: It will be some time before we can port this feature to the KX3, since fairly extensive changes are required. We’d like to fully test the feature on the KX2 first, since, given its small size, it is far more likely to be used in precarious situations where attempting to log on paper could result in injury or at minimum the need for an embarrassing rescue.
Details:
While we call this “logging,” it’s actually less formal than that. When MENU:LOGGING is set to ON, the KX2 will simply record up to 2 kbytes of your outgoing CW/PSK-D/FSK-D characters in EEPROM. Time stamps and band/mode data are stored along with the text. A “LOG FULL” message will be flashed if you reach the 2 kb limit.
Later, when you have time (say at base camp, or in your Land Rover), you can reconstruct your log. The stored text can be reviewed at the rig itself using a new VFO B display function (LOG). VFO A is used to scroll through the text. The log text can then be erased using the CLR knob function.
You can optionally send the entire contents of the log to a computer using the new “LG;” command. This command can be used from within the KX2 Utility Command Tester screen, or from any terminal emulator application.
If you’d like to try this feature, please email me directly.
