Folks:
I recently bought a WKmini to use for portable operation. In reading the
documentation, it turns out that the cable supplied that goes from the OUT
port of the WKmini to the key jack on the KX2 keys the tip with the code,
but use the ring to do a PTT function. I'm fine with QSL on the KX2,
So is it true that the WKmini doesn't remember anything upon disconnecting?

1. What is the approximate current draw for the KX2 on transmit at 5 watts
CW?2.
At 10 watts, it is 1.87 amps. At 5 watts, it is 1.49 amps. Receive is about
0.15 amps.

It goes down to 0.05 kHz.

Team:
I discovered that the KX2 will trip out if its temperature gets too high.
Clearly, this is a good thing. I am considering getting the heat sinks for
the side. I now run with the temperature displayed.
My question in relation to this is: is there a fixed temperature that it
will trip out at?
By far it is the most fun per watt of any radio that I have ever owned.
I worked HD8R on 15 with 10 watts to a random wire.

I like to use my KX2 in my office with a wire out the window to a tree,

I think there was a little note in the KX2 bundle about the type of wire

I do a similar evaluation of antenna combinations (random wire with/without

record results that way with RBN.

That is pretty impressive.
When I was first a ham, one of the locals was W7QYA, Flo, a school teacher
not far away. I had managed to crank my speed up to 40 (with some struggle)
but she said that was painfully slow for her. Her nominal speed was 65
wpm. I have yet to get much above 40.
On Thu,
I have about six of these, two in the garage, and four in the basement next

Oh, and they are the color-changing variety, but i haven't done the color
