There is no such thing as a "nice" RF burn.

Caution when using this location: Make sure your counterpoise is insulated and
there’s no way to contact bare metal at this point with your hand when using
the KX2 hand-held ‘walkie-talkie’ style. I received a nice RF burn on my hand
at this point once!

The other nice feature of the KX2 is the mini banana jack on the side of the
radio for attaching the counterpoise . It’s perfect for pedestrian mobile and
should you encounter some sort of snag it’ll pop out before the wire
breaks.Wayne can better comment than me,but I believe the resonance of the AX1
(or AX2 I presume) it’s not right within the 20M band, but close. The auto
tuner easily takes care of matching and as Wayne mentioned earlier compensates
for all of the other variables. Just a note that the AX2 is a single band coil
and can be modified for different bands. Plus it’s even a lot lower profile
than the AX1.
If you want to see some fun videos of using the AX1 directly attached to the
KX2 search on YouTube for HB9BZG-SOTA from the Swiss Alps!
