Tired of fretting about the K4.....see what a KX2 looks like at 12, 800 ft

Here are a few snaps of me and my KX2 up in the California Sierra Nevada mountains last Saturday.

Never ceases to amaze me how functional the KX2 is.

Beautiful Photography and excellent writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It
almost makes me want to hook up a mic and try to work you.The altitude is
really impressive. I am limited to 8000 feet due to 55% lung capacity from
birth.

If I had mountains like that out here in Georgia, I would be tempted to
acquire a KX2 for SOTA. Thanks for sharing !!

Lovely! That makes me want to get out and do some hiking, but not Class 3!

Thanks for the write-up and especially the photos. Takes me back to
my Sierra hiking days mid-1970's! 1977 I logged nearly 500 miles in
the mountains (every weekend). I think there were less crowds back
then. Solo hiking was quiet-serene. I also backpacked with the JPL
Hiking Club back then. We sumitted Mt. Whitney 14,000+ but that is a
"walk up" hike. But you really feel the altitude above 13,500 where
we dropped our packs. I hiked with 60-lbs back then.

Only took a 2m-HT in those days. Made SF area from Lassen crater
rim. Wish I could still do the hiking but only drive the high roads, now.
Where we live in AK the terrain-climate is similar to 9,000 feet in
the Sierra but we are only 138-foot ASL.
