[Elecraft] KX-2 wish list

[Ken Alexander]

Ditto for me.  However, there are a few things I'd like to see:

1.  A better display.  An LCD that shows the complete frequency.
2.  A better sidetone.  I find it very difficult to match CW pitch with the station I want to work.
3.  A little more audio output, to account for variations in headphone sensitivity.
4.  An internal rechargeable battery pack that would be recharged when the KX-1 is connected to external power.

None of these are what I'd call deal-breakers.  1 and 2 are the items I'd really like to see.  3 and 4 don't cause me any grief but would be nice.

Maybe this would be a KX-1.1?

73,
