Logging (CW/Data Modes)
When using the KX2 hand-held, or if operating time is
very limited, logging may be inconvenient. The KX2
can capture up to 2048 transmitted characters, along
with time, band, and mode data, so you can update a
paper or electronic log later on. Log data can be
reviewed at the KX2 itself using the DISP/LOG
function, or by sending the data to KX2 Utility.
Logging applies only to CW (C), PSK-D (P) and FSK-
D (F) modes, and requires use of the internal keyer,
either with a separate or attached paddle.
For complete instructions see MENU:LOGGING.
Transverter Bands
Seven user-definable band displays are provided for
use with external transverters, such as the Elecraft XV-
Series.
The KX2 does not have a low-level transverter
output; transverters are driven from the main
antenna jack. This requires the use of transverters that
have a common receive/transmit antenna jack and
associated T/R switching. Consult the transverter
manual for drive power limitations and switching
requirements.
The KX2’s ACC jack provides a keyline output that
can be used to key transverters. See pg. 9.
Transverter Band Setup
Transverter bands are set up using the five XV menu
entries, as follows:
§ Locate the XVn ON menu entry. Tap 1 – 7 to
specify which transverter band to configure. Set
the parameter to YES to enable band n .
§ XVn RF sets the operating frequency (MHz).
§ XVn IF specifies the I.F. band (7, 14, 21, 28, or 50
MHz). Most transverters use a 28 MHz I.F.
§ XVn PWR sets maximum KX2 power output for
the current transverter band in watts.
§ XVn OFS can compensate for a frequency offset
in the transverter.
