Fred,
for many, my self included, as long a wire as high up in a tree as I can
get it, with a counterpoise about 50' long is my favorite.
The antenna wire up in the tree and going down to ground at the far end,
and to the rig (Via BNC to binder post adapter) is typically about 130'
in my use. I have had great success and it is cheap, light, compact.
If I am going to the beach or mountain top (no trees) I use either my
Buddipole or the Ventenna, whichever I brought; they both work very well
for me.
Enjoy that KX3! 72 de Dave, W5SV

Looking for the best out of the worst kind of antenna for my KX3 all band. I
have the MFJ telescopic with the taps you plug into for the different but
there must be something better out there.
What have others used that they have been pleased with performance of? I
have checked the reviews of others and most seem to be not much better than
what I have, the Perth among them.
