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

Their site definitely needs some optimizations.

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.

The Verge’s title is a bit click-baity.

Is the ESA destroying a new satellite? Yes.

Is that what the satellite was designed for? Also yes.

It will have over 200 sensors to capture re-entry data in a special capsule which will then transmit for up to 20 minutes after reentry and before reaching the ocean.

The mission IS the re-entry.

Not sure what I’m going to do without the China Lake and El Mirage Yacht Clubs.

Sail there, heave-to and shut off all other electronics. The closest people to you will likely be those on the ISS 409km overhead!

I personally would love to pass through there and try to make some QSOs.

I reckon Point Nemo (48°52.6′S123°23.6′W) might be fairly quiet.

Now to get a research grant and head out there with my rig…

You’re right, and I was little ambiguous and unclear what I meant by formality.

By formality, I was suggesting that the US government spends a lot of time hand wringing about the budget, delaying for compromises, and then exceeds the budget anyway in certain areas.

They intentionally hold it hostage for compromises on other things we don’t actually want.

The budget is probably more a formality anyway.

You guys have to pay? I get paid to register my domains.

Thank you for these recommendations, I will check them out. Either of these seem like they would work!
