My wish list includes a mini hand mic without the spiral cable for hiking/SOTA applications. The KX2 is so small and light the stretchy mic cable often yanks the radio out of position - especially when you have it sitting on a rock on the ground. Just use the same cable as what is used for the audio cables, and make it 3 or 4 feet long. A smaller mic housing would be great as well. The MH3 is massive in relation to the KX2.
I realize memory is probably very tight, but if we could somehow get 2 minutes of continuous recording, it would be possible to record a WSPR transmission and transmit it manually in the field without a computer/smartphone.
I would also love to see the option to replace all the knobs on the KX2 with a low profile set, so the entire radio is more compact, and fits better inside of the various Pelican cases and carrying pouches. In the field I don't spin the knobs much anyway.
If the hardware is capable, a dimmable backlight would be handy.
I'm all for any new or more convenient portable antennas. Whether they're wire or compact loaded whips (like the MFJ-18xx series).
Compact battery charger for the KX2. The standard charger is huge.
Thanks!LukeAD0KI
