Traveling Power Supply for KX2?

Keith Gordon
I've had a KX2 for about 3 weeks now -- and I haven't turned on my
ICOM-7300 since.  Having way too much fun with the KX2 on hill tops,
practicing for SOTA.

I also got the KX2 for use when I travel (corporate pilot) and am wondering
if anyone knows of a power supply to use, say in a hotel room, that
wouldn't be much larger than a cell phone charger or laptop power supply.

Thanks in advance,


73, Keith S Gordon

I just bring the Elecraft battery pack charger, 2 battery packs and keep one charging while using the other one...  swap as needed...  It is essentially just the same size as a laptop PS..

Kx33 from Pro Audio Engineering is what I use. It looks like a typical laptop power supply and provides up to 4 A with no RFI.

I don't have the KX2, but I use the Kx33 from Pro Audio Engineering for
my KX3/PX3 combo (airline pilot here, know where you're coming from).
Easy to carry, no RFI I've been able to notice and plenty of power to
spare.

Re: Traveling Power Supply for KX2?

Irma & Linas(LY2H)
Is this fine device available from European dealers, anybody knows?
I run at the moment a ps from MFJ specifically designed for the FT817, it's
fine and no noise but it is quite bulky.
