Comment on [FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - What does an actual minimal set-up look like? #podcast

Well… this is practically the story of how I recently ordered a KX2.
The 7300 is great when I want power and lots of options. Turns out it’s a dread to haul when I go out to try just to try and whisper.

I’ve been to the Elecraft website multiple times, but their ordering process puts me off every time. They show all these different packages, but you don’t seem to be able to add or remove individual items, like, I really don’t want a hat for example, or a kilowatt amplifier, but want all the other bits.
Their naming conventions also do my head in.
I’ve played with a K3 at a local club, but it often needed repairs, no idea if this was due to equipment or user error.
K2 looks interesting.

I ran into the exact same thing. I ended up calling them to ask all my questions and got guided to me to the KX2 “shack in a box”. They called back pretty quickly and seemed pretty kind about it.
Their site definitely needs some optimizations.
