[Elecraft] KX2 CW tx decode for code practicing using external straight key

[Joan]

Fine business, Bjorn ^_^

One my fav ways to elmer the Morse code as practiced is, in fact, to set folx around a table and pass the ‘transmitting station’ around the table and have a real roundtable QSO (albeit only acoustically)

You can use your KX2 as the code practice oscillator by turning VOX off (or even just dialing the power down to 0.0, although the finals will still draw some power even at zero final output).  You could just set the rig in the middle and then pass the key around.  I’ve used this method for decades

tnx fer the chat  es c u dn the log = 73 all  de KX2CW Joan  sk  . .

PS: Left Hand is a brewery in Colorado (I believe), and their’s is my favourite American-brewed stout ^_^
