Frequency Memories
The KX2 has 100 general-purpose frequency memories
(00-99), plus four quick memories on each band. Each
memory stores VFOs, modes, and other settings. Quick
memories provide an easy way to get to segments used
for each operating mode. For example, you could use
quick-memory 1 as an SSB starting point, use 2 for
CW, 3 for data, etc. Memories can be set up manually
or with the Elecraft Frequency Memory Editor (pg. 35).
To store a general-purpose memory (00-99): First
hold STORE , then locate the desired memory by
rotating the VFO A knob. The VFO A frequencies
presently stored in each memory will be shown. When
you reach the desired memory number, hold STORE
again to exit, or tap any other switch to cancel.
To recall a general-purpose memory: Hold
RCL/SCN , then select a memory using VFO A. Tap
any switch to exit.
To store a per-band quick memory: Hold STORE,
then tap the target quick memory (1 - 4).
To recall a per-band quick memory: Hold
RCL/SCN , then tap the target quick memory (1 - 4).
To erase a general-purpose memory: While scrolling
through memories to store or recall, hold CLR.
To add a text label to a general-purpose memory:
First hold RCL/SCN , then select a memory (00-99)
using VFO A. Next, rotate VFO B to select each text
label position in turn as indicated by the flashing
cursor. Use VFO A to select label characters (A-Z, 0-9,
and symbols). Hold STORE to exit.
Scanning
Scanning tunes a band segment continuously until a
modulated signal is found. To use scanning:
§ Set VFO A and B to the desired scan start/end
frequencies, and VFO A to the desired mode.
STORE in memory 00-99 as described at left.
§ To start scanning, first recall a general-purpose
frequency memory as described at left. Then hold
RCL/SCN until SCAN appears on VFO B (~3 s).
§ To stop scanning, rotate VFO A or tap any switch.
To restart, hold RCL/SCN for about 3 seconds.
Channel Hopping
Scanning (or manually tuning) among a group of
memories is referred to as channel hopping. This is
especially useful on 60 m. Memories in a group must
all be in the same band, but can have different modes.
To set up channel hopping:
§ Set up VFO A for the first target frequency and
mode. STORE this setup in a memory (00-99).
§ Set up and STORE the remaining frequencies in
the next successive numbered memories.
§ Add a text label to each memory in the group,
using an asterisk (*) as the first character.
§ To start manual channel hopping, recall one of the
memories in the target group. VFO A will now hop
among the grouped memories. Holding RCL/SCN
for ~3 seconds starts scanning within the group.
§ To disable channel hopping, tap RATE.
