QRP/outdoors/SOTA/KX2 presentation at the Palm Springs hamfest, Feb. 4th

[Arthur Gunn]

The subject hamfest is too far away to attend but "the SOTA related optimizations embodied in the KX2" that Wayne will talk about is of great interest. Wayne, is there a way to share this information or the presentation with us after your Feb 4 presentation?

Hi Arthur,

I'm not sure if anyone will be videoing Don's talk (I'm just an interloper). You might ask the hamfest organizers.

Regarding the KX2's optimizations applicable to SOTA, here's the short version:

Small size, low current drain, long battery life, high power output, 9-band coverage, SSB/CW/DATA modes, wide-range ATU that works with ad-hoc antennas, built-in mic, attached keyer paddle, daylight-readable backlit display, CW/DATA and DVR message buffers, and many DSP features for weak-signal work including APF, dual watch, NR, and NB.

73,
Wayne

I forgot to add: built-in tilt-stand for 3-point placement on rough surfaces, and a form factor that allows for rapid-deployment, HT-style operation with whip antennas.

And the ability to monitor amp-hours consumed is more than just a gee-whiz feature. It is quite a useful attribute allowing one to fairly accurately judge how much longer a battery will last.
