A few weekends ago (sweepstakes weekend) I broke out my KX1 in the back yard to test and play with a few antennas I had been working on. (Tnx Mike, KK5F-Multi-Band Dipole) The ATU in the KX1 tuned the dipole beautifully with ~3.5-4 watts out. I then wanted to try the 24' piece of wire & counterpoise 12-16' combination as I haven't had any luck with this in the house or hotel rooms. The power out jumped up to 7 w as measured on my OHR WM-2 ! Knowing that's not possible, I'm befuddled. (is that a real word ?) I know I saw this discussed several months ago on the reflector, so I tried an archive search. I couldn't find this topic. Question: Does anyone remember this and what the reason(s) were? Or, could someone direct me to that subject in the archives please? One more question please. Does anyone have a link to a source were I might purchase a new MFJ-259 ant analyzer? I've been meaning to buy one for several years and just kept putting it off. I usually bookmark this sort of stuff when I come across it on this reflector, but darned if I can find this link that I also know has been beat to death on this reflector before.
  Tnx for the help !
John, KD5EJA, K1 #679 & KX-1 #479, K2 just around the corner
