[Elecraft] Narrow Digital Modes ??

[JWAHAR BAMMI]

I've been successfully running JT-65, WSPR this weekend on my KX2 @ 2.6 Watts and monitoring the PA temp on the VFO B display. The ambient temp in the shack was about 21C, at the end of the WSPR Tx cycles the PA Temp gets up to about 58C. (20m, 30m, 40m frequency does not seem to matter). Look for kc1ccr on WSPRnet.

Rant:  I want to go /p or /m QRP digital modes. I don't particularly mind hauling my phone/tablet/Macbook air around /p /m or /pm. Not a fan of CW, and I am definitely not gen-x.

PA Engineering/Howie make us a KX2 heatsink already!

I am uncertain why the OP claims the KX2 is not usable on JT65. One of the
KX2 field testers operated the radio on that mode without issues and
reported the same in an eham review of the KX2.

In fact, we paid great attention to frequency stability in the KX2 design,
applying lessons learned from the KX3.

The KX2 Tx power is more limited than in the KX3. But JT65 is a weak
signal mode :-)
