Tried it with a K1 and 40m Hamstick antenna, trunk-lip mounted, 99% of operation was RX-only on 40 meter CW. Worked well! I also worked a few stations with that setup -- weak but carried out the QSO. I paid no attention to fine-tuning for efficiency -- more like "seat of the pants" stuff and enjoyed it greatly. I don't find the K1, K2 or KX1 particularly well suited for mobile use *while driving* but they do work well enough, especially for casual RX operation. For the sake of functionality, flexibility, ease of installation, suitability to task, and bang for the buck, the 706MkIIG wins. My heart and soul remain with Elecraft CW though. I'll be driving to a vacation spot in late November and plan to take the 706 for the road trip but will take my Elecraft with me for the week-long stay when we get there! --Andrew, NV1B _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
