Hi Lynn, The answer may depend a lot on what bands you want to operate on. I think the KX3 tuner is rather wide range. You might look over the online manuals for the other rigs for suggested antenna lengths. I think I have seen 51 feet can be a good length. Avoid a half wave on the band of interest. And you will need some ground system, radial wire(s) or a car body often being used. 73 - Mike WA8BXN -------Original Message------- From: Lynn W.

I saw some discussion of wire lengths that worked well with the tuner, and of course, now I can't find it. I plan on mostly portable operation -- no place where I live for a nice antenna (and probably hard to get the OK from management). Anyone have any practical experience to share? 73 -- Lynn, WB6UUT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
