[Elecraft] KX2 built in mic

[Dan Presley]

Yes that’s it! I’m so used to pressing and holding the XMIT as I do that to tune my magloop (LNR). You can’t use the autotunes with a loop.  Hopefully the next time I decide to go SSB I’ll remember! By the way-a loop and the KX2 make a great portable combination. The new addition of the CW logging feature is an absolute lifesaver for SOTA-when you’re on a tough location t’s tricky trying to juggle the radio and a notebook .

Don’t believe I’ve ever made a voice Q with this rig.. Of course I forgot the mic, but I figured I could use the built in one. The problem was that everytime I transmitted (pressing ‘XMIT’) in the mode window it would switch to CW and back to USB as I released it.I thought it might be the CW in SSB setting, allowing CW to be sent while in SSB mode so I changed the menu setting in CW Weight, but it still continued to show the same in the mode window. And-never did get a Q. Of course it might have been working and they never heard me, but any ideas why that might be occurring? Though conditions were lousy I did get to meet N4EX, the top SOTA chaser in North America, who I’ve worked before from his home state of NC. He was out here visiting his son. To me the KX2 is the perfect SOTA radio.
