provide dot- and dash-memories—enabling fast code
speeds—but with slightly different timing.
Microphone Settings
If you plan to use voice modes, set up MIC BIAS and
MIC BTN to match your microphone.
Switch-Press Tones
Switch-press tones are enabled by default. Using the
SW TONE menu entry, you can turn tones OFF, ON,
or select Morse code tones at various speeds (CODE
nn). Switch tones use the CW sidetone volume level,
which can be adjusted in CW mode using the
AF/MON control.
Setting the Time
MENU:TIME sets the 24-hour real-time-clock (RTC)
if a KXIO2 module is installed and MENU:KXIO2 is
set to NOR. If no KXIO2 is installed, time will start at
00:00:00 at power-up, though you might still want to
set it for time-stamping CW/DATA log text (see
MENU:LOGGING).
While in the menu entry, tap 1 / 2 / 3 to select
HH/MM/SS (hours/minutes/seconds), respectively.
Then use VFO A to adjust the value. KX2 Utility can
also be used to accurately set the time.
To display the present time, tap DISP and rotate
OFS/B to locate the time display.
If the clock appears to be off by more than +/- 2
seconds per day, use the RTC ADJ menu entry to
apply a correction.
The clock circuitry must be powered by either the
KX2’s internal battery or an external supply. Refer to
the KXIO2 menu entry for details.
VFO Coarse Tuning Steps
VFO CRS can be used to set up a coarse tuning
increment for each mode. Tap RATE to select normal
or coarse tuning.
TUNE Power Level
If you’re using an external antenna tuner or amplifier
with the KX2, you may want to limit the power level
used during TUNE. The TUN PWR menu entry can be
used to set the desired power level.
If you have the KXAT2 internal ATU installed,
power is automatically set to 3.0 watts during antenna
tuning. There’s no need to configure TUN PWR in
this case.
VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) Setup
If you plan to use VOX in SSB or data modes, you’ll
need to set up the VOX GN and VOX INH (anti-VOX)
menu entries. See pg. 20.
After changing menu settings, use KX2 Utility to
save your present configuration. The configuration
can be restored later if required.
