Adds high-performance, hand-trimmed roofing filters ahead of the receiver's DSP subsystem, resulting in improved close-spaced dynamic range in CW, data, and SSB modes. 500 Hz/1500 Hz matched analog filters (1000/3000 Hz equivalent IF passband in I and Q channels).

Safely and automatically charges 8 NiMH cells in the KX3's internal 8-AA battery pack from an external 12-15 V supply.

Charge time varies depending on cell capacity and depth of discharge; 8 hours typical. Includes real-time clock, providing time display and alarm.

The KXPD2 is a very compact mechanical keyer paddle that attaches directly to the front of KX2 (or KX3). This eliminates the need for a heavy keyer base. It includes a slot in which to store the contact-adjustment wrench.

The KX3-PCKT cable set interfaces between the Elecraft KX3 and personal computers, and provides convenient connection to an external foot switch and RF power amplifier.

ELECRAFT AX1
DUAL BAND (+)
WHIP ANTENNA
• High-Q loading coil resonant on 20
and 17 meters—two great bands for
QRP SSB/CW/data operation
• Band selected via slide switch
• Works with your rig’s ATU to
eliminate whip or radial length
adjustments
• 15 meter coverage with ATU
• Disassembles into two pieces
to fit into small “grab & go” bags,
such as the Elecraft ES series
• Includes 13’ (3.3 m) radial wire
(required for transmit use)
You’ve just crested the hill...the
view is amazing. Time to stop,
take a drink, and check out the
bands. Your radio deploys quickly,
but what about your antenna?
This is where our AX1 whip really
shines: getting you on the air in
seconds, from anywhere. Use it
HT-style with a hand-held rig; on a
picnic table with an AXB1 whip
bipod; or with a camera tripod and
an AXT1 tripod adapter. (AX-Line
accessories shown at right.)
Using the AX1 with an ATU
eliminates tedious length
adjustments. Just select a band,
tap the antenna tune switch, and
go for it. A wide-range ATU can
also extend coverage to other
bands, including 15 meters.
Whether you use the AX1 as a
‘stealth’ field antenna, for
pedestrian mobile, or as a versatile
backup, it’ll be ready when you are.
