I have great success with a buddistick and setup using a small antenna analyser. I use a camera tripod as a base to get it a couple of feet off the ground and it is quick and easy to setup anywhere. If it's going to be a long walk I use wire and toss things into trees. The wire winders that come from the buddistick people are ideal. I tie nots in the wire at the quarter wavelength points for each band (you can feel them when setting up in the dark). Paired with a length of thin coax with a choke on the antenna end and it's about as light as you can get.
The tuner in the KX3 is brilliant.

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. 73, Fred/N0AZZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
