[Elecraft] KX2 Questions

[Bill Lederer]

I have the kx2 and absolutely love it.

1.  What is the approximate current draw for the KX2 on transmit at 5 watts
CW?2.

At 10 watts, it is 1.87 amps. At 5 watts, it is 1.49 amps. Receive is about
0.15 amps.



2. What is the narrowest receiver filter width on CW?

It goes down to 0.05 kHz.
