[Elecraft] KX2 Memory Operation Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

Look up "Channel Hopping" in the manual, that should help you with the KX2.

If you plan to operate CW on 60 meters, you will have to add another set 
of memories that takes you to the channel center rather than to 1.5k 
below center as is used for USB mode.

It is not available for the K1, K2 or KX1, but works for all the others.

73,
