• Ultralight grab-and-go station

• 80-10 meters (9 bands)

• SSB / CW / Data

• Up to 10 W TX

• Li-ion battery (optional)

• Amp-hour meter

• Built-in mic and  0.5-W speaker

• Wide-range Internal ATU (optional)

• Perfect for SOTA and field ops
KX

With a KXAT2 automatic antenna tuner (ATU) installed, you can use non-resonant and narrow-band antennas. Such antennas are very convenient for field operation. An ATU can improve transmit power transfer and receive sensitivity.

The KXBT2 battery pack weighs about 4.8 oz, and can provide up to 8 hours of typical transceiver operation and up to 10 W power output.  You can plug in an internal battery and an external supply at the same time, and the radio will operate from whichever is higher in voltage.

This charger is designed specifically for use with our KXBT2 Li-ion battery pack. It can safely charge the KXBT2 in 1 to 3 hours. Note: To charge the battery, you must first remove it as described in the KX2 owner’s manual. It cannot be charged while inside the radio. The power jack on the left side panel is isolated from the internal power jack, and cannot supply power to the battery.

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 KXIO2 option provides a real-time clock and two user-programmable outputs (AUX jack). The time can be displayed in the KX2’s VFO B area and the TIME menu entry). Time accuracy can be fined-tuned to about +/- 2 seconds per day using the RTC ADJ menu entry. The two AUX outputs can be used for controlling per-band external equipment such as an antenna switch or transverter (see the AUX 1 and AUX 2 menu entries).

Used to break out the computer control and key out

signals separately. These can then be connected to an Elecraft KXPA100 amplifier via its adapter cable.

These padded cases will protect your KX2 and accessories during transport.

The CS40 is just right for carrying the KX2, a wire antenna, earbuds, log sheet, keyer paddle (e.g. KXPD2), and other small items.

The larger CS60 can also accommodate an MH3 microphone and larger antennas or accessories.

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.

AXT1
TRIPOD ADAPTER
• Allows any antenna with a BNC
connector to be mounted on a
standard camera tripod
• Includes permanently installed ¼-
20 fastener
• Three spare holes for guy wires or
other hardware

AXB1
WHIP BIPOD
• Prevents tipping of whip due to
light wind or vibration; legs
conform to irregular surfaces
• Use with a right-angle adapter
such as an Elecraft #BNC-RA
• Fold-up legs include holes for
use with tie-downs, if needed
in heavier winds

delivery include:

40m extension coil (15cm)

radial wire (10m)

AX2 MINATURE 20-METER WHIP ANTENNA.

The AX2 is small enough to take anywhere - just in time for light outdoor use during the new solar cycle. Use it HT-style with a handheld tripod like the KX2, on a picnic table with an AXB1 whip tripod, or with a camera tripod and the AXT1 tripod adapter. The AX2's rugged nylon housing is waterproof, wind resistant and features our new anti-wobble design.

Experimenters will appreciate the AX2's versatile design. A removable cover allows access to the high-Q inductor. Simply remove the windings and re-solder a wire to cover your favorite ribbon. Clip-off tabs are provided for ribbon identification.
