World’s Smallest fully-capable HF Go Kit?

Post author By admin
Post date July 20, 2020

HF 80-10m, SSB, CW, and some Digital modes, in a sub 2lb kit? Yup…

The Elecraft KX2 is an incredibly capable rig with an internal battery, built-in ATU, and excellent power efficiency in a very small package. Combine that with a custom ultralight antenna, mini key and microphone, and a compact case, and you’ve got one of the smallest go kits you’ll ever find.

The KX2 does PSK and RTTY intrinsically, but if WSJT modes are a priority for you, add a Raspberry Pi. Check out KM4ACK’s channel for more info on Pi builds for ham radio. https://www.youtube.com/user/jasonoleham

Kit elements:
Case – Kelty Cache Box (small): https://amzn.to/3hn1OPT
* Note – some stretching may be required for an easy fit.
Antenna – K6ARK Ultimate 9:1 End Fed Random Wire: https://youtu.be/kSQzUETRMlk
Mini Mic – Modified from one of these: https://amzn.to/2DQIYSv
* Build video coming soon.
Mini Key – Homebrew, but there are some nice commercial options…
– AME Ultra Portapaddle: http://americanmorse.com/ultraportapaddle.htm
– Know of another, perhaps 3D printed option? Share in the comments!

Got a suggestion or have a smaller kit? Tell us about it in the comments below.

Ham Radio Review – Elecraft KX3 Soft Case

Post author By admin
Post date July 20, 2020

I use a Condor H2O Pouch to protect my KX3 when it’s not in use. This pouch allows me to keep the KXSides on the KX3. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but it gives very good protection when not in use. I’ve put this case in my luggage when flying and haven’t had any issues.

#Ham #Radio #ARRL #2MC
INFO: Next week’s Net (7-15-20) will be over on Nick’s / KN6DAL channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQ5mDcc4zlgdW10hy3c5Fg

This is the 2 Meter Crew Anti-Net / Tech Net. It’s on air every Wednesday night at 19:00 PST. We started this in the later part of 2019 as a bunch of local Hams to have a place and time to meet weekly to chat. This is not a net in the traditional way and everyone is a visitor. We take check-ins so we can circle back to people and give them a chance to chat. There is a Facebook Group to join under “2MC”.
EchoLink and AllStar was added in the beginning of 2020 to allow people globally to check in and join the fun. Also, we leave the links up all the time. So feel free to key up the repeater anytime.

Check Out Our Discord: https://discord.gg/vT7Yh8Q

Primary EchoLink is W6VVR-R and Secondary is WG5EEK-L. You can also use our AllStar Node 51094

Live AllStar/EchoLink website & more: https://WG5EEK.com

A huge thank you to the Vaca Valley Radio Club – W6VVR for the use of the repeater. It’s a great machine sitting on top of Mt. Vaca around 2,800 feet high, about 60 miles East from San Francisco. Link to club’s website: https://w6vvr.net/

Behind the Scenes:
I’m in my garage shack
Yaesu FT-991A is the radio
Mackie Mix12FX mixer
AKG Perception 120 condenser microphone on a boom
Two different Logitech webcams
The software is OBS
