We got our hands on an Elecraft KX2, one of the most popular QRP CW rigs out there — but is it really worth 10× the price of our favorite budget radios? In this video, we take the Elecraft KX2 into the field for Parks on the Air (POTA) activations, ragchews, and side-by-side testing with affordable CW rigs like the QMX, QCX-mini, and CFT1. We go through some of the unique features of the KX2, but more importantly we share our impressions after using it for a weekend. 73, Michael N4FFF es Becky N4BKY 🛒 HamRadioDuo Shop: 🔗 Learn Morse Code Website: 💬 Join our Learn CW Discord Community: ♨️ Want to Support Us? ⚙️ RADIO GEAR (featured in this video): Elecraft KX2 QCX mini 1 Band QMX 5 Band CFT1 5-Band CW Field Transceiver Becky’s Putikeeg Straight Key Mike’s Favorite Metal Paddle (Putikeeg) Metal Base for Key Antenna - K6ARK EFHW INIU Power Bank USB-C PD Capable 12V USB-C PD to Barrel Plug Trigger Cable NanoVNA Antenna Analyzer ⚙️ OTHER GEAR (featured in this video): Naturehike FT07 Ultralight Camping Table, 1.6 LBS Portable Collapsible Chairs Backpacks DJI Osmo Pocket 3, Vlogging Camera DJI Mic2, Wireless Microphones Tripod Silicone Cable Ties Sony Headphones 📺 SUBSCRIBE for more CW tips, POTA adventures, and gear ideas!
