ELECRAFT KX2 - CW WGHT; DUAL RX; FW REVS; KXIO2

46
SPT/MIC knob changes to auto-spot (pg. 21). In this case the KX2 will attempt to
to tune in CW or PSK31/63 signals automatically.
CW WGHT
1.25
Adjusts element/space timing ratio (weight) for the internal keyer.
Additional functions of this menu entry, via numeric keypad:
Tap 1 to select SSB -CW (default) or SSB +CW (allows CW in SSB modes).
When CW-in-SSB is in effect, tapping the KYR-SPT/MIC knob in SSB mode
alternates between keyer speed and mic gain rather than CMP/ALC and SWR/RF
transmit metering. CW transmit in SSB mode is not available if SPLIT is on.
Tap 3 to select NOR QSK (default) or FST QSK. The FST (fast) setting
provides somewhat faster receive recovery time, while NOR (normal) is less
susceptible to audio artifacts from noise and nearby interfering stations.
Tap 4 to select VOX NOR (default) or AUTO OFF. The AUTO OFF setting
turns CW VOX off on power-up, avoiding accidental keying by attached PCs, etc.
Tap 5 to select automatic VFO offset on any SSB/CW mode change (VFO OFS).
VFO NOR, the default, disables the offset. Automatic offset is useful when
mixed-mode QSOs are necessary, as during fading. Note: Pitch matching for
automatic offset will be more accurate if USB is paired with CW reverse, and LSB
with CW normal. See MENU:ALT MD.
DUAL RX
OFF
Set to AUTO to enable Dual Watch (pg. 25). The SUB icon will turn on. If the
VFOs are not within the required range, the SUB icon will flash slowly. Note:
Dual watch only applies when using stereo headphones or dual external speakers.
FW REVS
N/A
Rotate VFO A to see firmware revisions: MCU (µC, shorthand for
microcontroller), DSP (dSP), and KXPA100 amplifier MCU if applicable (PA).
Tap 1 to see the RF board revision, e.g. “RFPCB=A” for rev. A.
KXIO2
Not inst
If a KXIO2 module is installed, set the parameter to NOR, then exit the menu and
turn the KX2 off/on. To set the time, use the TIME menu entry. Use the RTC ADJ
menu entry to improve the clock’s long-term accuracy if desired.
Note: The real-time clock circuitry must normally be powered by either the KX2’s
internal battery or an external power source. As a convenience for recharging the
battery, which must be done externally to the KX2, the clock will keep time for up
