I used mine mobile on 17 meters using mag antenna with it sitting on front seat with 12v+ from the car supply accessory. I checked into a net giving signal reports. Bill K9YEQ

I continue to be impressed by the variety of experiences in how users are using it. At this point does anyone have any experience in using the KX2 in a mobile environment? Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s I had a IC-706MKIIG and a SGC roof mounted tuner with their 8 ft.two-piece vertical installed in a Volvo station wagon. Consequently, I’m wondering how the KX2 could be installed in today’s vehicles where I would access to the front panel from the driver’s seat and what current generation mobile antenna(s) might be suitable. Is there a mobile mounting kit that would work well? Do I start operating “barefoot” or should I look at adding an amplifier? My primary mode would be SSB. I also recognize that the KX3 offers additional features, but the small footprint and potential ability to do “pedestrian mobile” with a KX2 is a additional consideration.
