Elecraft KX2 Firmware Update and Transmit Gain Calibration

I bought a used Elecraft KX2 and needed to update the firmware. Detailed instructions in this video show downloading the Elecraft utility, attaching the KXUSB cable and updating the firmware. I also ran the Transmit Gain Calibration. Enjoy!

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my TH-cam channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.

I just got a used KX2 (my first) and so Im learning how to use it right now and I also set it up. Also had the same FW 02.69 and 01.49 and just updated, which I can recommend. Thx for the video and showing the tx calibration.

Where did you get the VFO knob for the KX2? I find that the standard one from Elecraft is awkward to use when when you want to scroll rapidly up or down the band - it needs a dimple.

Thank you for commenting and thank you for the question. It's nice to hear from you Fred.
I bought the KX2 used and it came with the knob. I do like it.
They are available on Ebay: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575171312&toolid=10001&campid=5338054206&customid=&icep_item=253773703811&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
I hope this helps. Best 73 - Rich, K0PIR
