Thanks all. I figured the Elecraft was a better choice. I’m gonna get the KX2 shack in a box package so I have the antenna tuner and battery. I primarily use resonant antennas when I play POTA,

?A couple of comments here. First I believe his two choices are KX2 (not KX3) and 705. If you’re primarily using it for CW the KX2 is a much better radio in functionality and performance. Better

With either radio you're going to want to have an antenna tuner for POTA/SOTA, and if you have an antenna tuner you're WAY better off using an end fed wire with a counterpoise than you are using the

Why? I read a lot of people say the same thing, but few say why. Is it higher power, batteries included, better receiver, ATU available...what? Jack, W8TEE

That's not the manual for the 4040. Brian

I have both the KX-3 and IC-705.? I highly recommend the KX-3.? Love both radios but 99% of the time I am using the KX-3 DennisW0HL

Just a note, I have used the AX1 antenna with a tripod in a National Park site where antenna restrictions occur (i.e. no wires in trees and no ground stakes). Try as I might I can not get it to be

I have a kx3 and a 705. For pota cw I prefer the kx3, and it has a morse decoder which is pretty good. The 705 has a built in waterfall which is ok, but for the kx3 you need the px3 to get the same

Hi Brady & Group, I've operated from hotels, office buildings, campsites, balconies, stealth (etc) and most important is the tuner... a wide matching range tuner that will handle random wires or

Hi Brady, We have both and only grab the KX2 for POTA, it is smaller, lighter and can have an internal ATU.? This is the deal breaker for the 705, it is a rare outing where an ATU was not needed for

I’m looking to purchase my next QRP radio. I’m primarily a CW op, with some SSB from time to time. It’s going to be a POTA/SOTA radio, but I also wanna be able to operate from the beach, hotel

I did a very deep dig.... It is indeed the SW40 not "40+" the differnce is toroids replaced with IF cans. As typical Of Dave Benson he would evolve his kit designs to make them easier to build (avoids

Its likely close enough. Yes, some of the torid coils were repalced with canned adjustable coils. Big visual change and more work (wind coils!) but circuit barely changed. OR.... Google is your

Brian, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and introducing the new SPOOLTENNA. I will be donating one of these as a door prize as well. SPOOLTENNA Meets The Lil' Dude Ham Radio Telescopic Mast

Thank you Allison. The manual showing the PCB layout is different than the PCB I have. Look closely at the layout on page 9 in the manual and my picture. The manual is dated Oct 1998. My board says

Good observation, but I did not provide you with enough details. The ICs are wrapped in foil, not visable in the photo. The 6-pin IC has to be from something else, he had various unassembled kits,
