[Elecraft] [KX2] fast becoming my favorite radio

[Chuck Guenther]

I've only had KX2 serial No. 857 for about ten days. It was purchased as 
a replacement for my KX1, to be used primarily for portable operations 
while on vacation.  However, I'm finding it so much fun to operate it at 
home, it has displaced my K2-10 on my operating desk.  (In case anyone 
is tempted to ask, I have no plans to sell the K2 that I built 10 years 
ago; rather I am giving it to my son).


I'm perhaps unusual in that I'm an avid DX'er who has never before used 
a transceiver with "dual watch." So I'm finding the KX2 a perfect 
trainer in learning to listen to both sides of a DX pileup at once, 
using a stereo headset.  I may be wrong, but the KX2 does not appear to 
have a balance control. However, the individual R/L volume controls on 
my MFJ-392B headphones serve the purpose.

I made a ten watt QSO, and a five watt QSO with the recent CY9C 
expedition, using dual watch.  Great fun!  Some day I will purchase a 
second receiver for my K3.

Thanks to Elecraft for its continuing innovation and superb products.

73,
