[Elecraft] Mobile Radio Dreams & the KX2

[Joe Moffatt]

Are these the mobile mounts recommended in this thread? The Sidekick... or are there other KX2 specific mounts?

I just bought a KX2/KXPA amp combo.

Yes, it is more expensive than other mobile options, but the better mobile rigs out there have been discontinued, and for new gear, this really isn't that much more expensive overall, especially when I also want to grab and go with my KX2 for travel/backpacking/portable.

Scott from SideKX also has a very nice mobile mount that the KX2 just snaps
into. It in turn has holes for the very popular AMP mounting solutions.

I'm using this with a KX2 to drive a KXPA100 in my RAV4 (the one Bill, AE6JV -
the O.P. passed on the road that made him think about mobile op's :-) It fits
perfectly just below my dashboard in the center console.
