#kx2 — Public Fediverse posts

Thanks to @qrper for the plug 🥁 for Manuel @hb9dqm 's KXUSBC2 #kx2 charger on the #hamradioworkbench podcast.

The whole episode is worth a watch as Lynn KU7Q who produces the CTR2 controllers is also a guest.

Happened to notice that the latest #elecraft #kh1 firmware includes FT8 support for SOTAmat https://sotamat.com - which now supports the KH1.

This is great timing as I’ve spent some time this evening finally designing the case for my SOTAcat PCB. I have made sure it will fit on the #kh1 as well. It’s a much tighter fit than the #kx2 or #kx3.

Quick render below of the top of the case. Need to figure out the bottom part, particularly connections. May need a tweak or two to the PCB…

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.

I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

Back from #SOTA activation on Potzberg (DM/RP-432). Nearly everything went wrong.
Built up inv vee and found out that SWL is infinite. No damage visible. Built up 2nd when I saw a wire breach I could not repair easily. Third antenna: wrong plug, so I decided to use my #KX2.
While logging my connects I found out that my 'smart' watch showed wrong time. So I had to calculate what was the correct logging time.
In the end, 12 QSO on #20m and #40m SSB.
Thanks Chasers!

After 32 years as a ham I finally completed my first #pota activation!

Thanks for everyone who hunted me at Kielder Water (GB-1285).

This one was SSB but I hope to add a CW one in the future.

Gear was my trusty #elecraft #kx2 with wire antenna suspended on a SOTABeams tactical mast. Ran off battery and happily chucked out 10w.

40m didn’t give me any contacts (the noise floor was surprisingly high - possibly LED lighting in the cabins?). 20m was great though.

Three easier Summits on the Air hills in South Wales ticked off today including a new one, Allt yr Esgair. New “Slim G” 2m antenna and HT combo didn’t live up to expectations but will persevere.. Good conditions on 20m/17m tho.

Made a quick visit to the Gateway Arch National Park and participated in the 1900z CWT from the park for an activation plus CWT credit. #wwff #cwops #elecraft #kx2 #ax1 #qrp #hamradio

Made it out this morning for a #POTA Activation with the @elecraft #KX2 with a Tufteln 2 wire antenna for 23 #CW QSOs across 40/30/17/15m bands.

I’m stunned how well #winlink #VARA HF works with my #QRP #KX2… #hamradio

Has anyone else been an idiot and snapped the BNC connector on their AX1 AXB1 bipod?

Thanks to ‘Angelo’ on printables (https://www.printables.com/model/385370-elecraft-ax1-antenna-clip) I printed a replacement which works very nicely.

I’ve got 8 spare (don’t ask!) , if anyone wants one DM (or email) me for my address, send me a SAE and I’ll drop one in the post.

I guess this is likely only work it for UK people but if you’re happy to pay international postage then I’m game 😀

Activated K-1139 today #qrp. Thanks for all the contacts and patience 😁 #sota #kx2

My first #CW #POTA activation is in the books. It went better than I hoped. #KX2 on 20 and 40 with a long wire. I should not have waited so long! Now to keep practicing. Thanks to all hunters and their patience!
