Description
At the request of many, I have designed a new additional leg for the KX2. The factory leg is short, to allow the use of the KXPD2 Keyer, thus limiting the height of a tilted radio. I like many, do not use the KXPD2 and the limited height of the tilt makes for difficult viewing of the LCD screen and labels on the radio buttons and knobs. I made the new leg .865 inches longer this new leg is placed on the KX2 using the factory thumb and sits atop the factory leg. This allows the use of either leg giving the user a choice of heights! This leg is made of aluminum and is powder coated to match the factory finish.
This leg is .865″ longer or just over 3/4 of an inch taller.
Please note there is a star washer atop the factory leg, be mindful not to lose this when removing the thumbscrew.

The new KX2 Tall Back Leg attaches above the factory leg and provides the option of much better inclination of the KX2 for easier viewing. As indicated in its description, the Tall Back l Leg will not allow use of the KXPD2 paddle due to the bottom corners of the paddles touching the desk. However, I found that it works beautifully when using my Begali Adventure Paddle with its angled attachment plate. In short, a very useful addition to my KX2.

The longer leg sets the radio at a perfect angle for use with my Palm Radio pico paddles mounted to the radio !
Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more innovative products for the KX3 and KX2 (I have both) !!

Clever and works great! The Tall Leg even feels more stable than the short leg. Nice that both are still options.

Outstanding, super addition to the KX2. The fit and finish is just top notch and I have found the tall leg to be better than the short leg by far.
