Hey I know there are some here that are interested, Wayne Burdick mentioned it on the Elecraft list today:
The second prototype of the KX3's 2-meter module is working quite well. (It's
the size of a credit card, and only about 1/8" thick.) We'll have one radio outfitted with this module on Saturday at Pacificon. I've been using mine to work repeaters, and can also easily copy weather-band stations (~162 MHz). Sensitivity is excellent and power output is in the 4~5 W range, max. When using repeaters, I'm taking advantage of the KX3's frequency memories. First, you set up the frequency, mode, PL tone, and transmit offset direction for each repeater. Then, if you want to do scanning or manual hopping among a group of memories, just add an asterisk ('*') and optional label to each memory in the group. I'll have further details later. 73, Wayne N6KR |
