[Elecraft] kx1; practice sending mode

[Grif]

When the KX-1 is tuned to a frequency several KHz outside the ham band, the
transmitter is automatically disabled and all you get is the sidetone when
it is keyed. I think the display will say "Error" when keyed. Sorry I didn't
make this clear before. I didn't mean to suggest that one should actually
transmit outside the ham bands. When you get far enough outside the ham band
that you get the "Error" message when keying, then you are not transmitting.

interference on the band is a good suggestion......  How about into a dummy
load instead?
