Re: [Elecraft] K3s - KAT3A is a Great ATU!
LOL.. rock on brother! I'm a believer it just throwing a chunk of wire in a tree and making contacts.. I don't need no stinking EZ- antenna programs LOL btw.. 300 confirmed on my full wave loop... which has an unknown amount of wire, fed with a unknown length of 300 ohm twinlead, and unknown resonant point Ronnie W5SUM -Original Message- From: MaverickNH Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 6:17 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3s - KAT3A is a Great ATU! A few days ago, when assembling my 43ft Vertical antenna, I ran a RG213 from rig to outside and a longer RG213 from antenna to outside my house. I later powered up the K3S/KAT3A to test that new 43ft Vertical, wondering if there must be a problem, as reception was quite a bit lower than my G5RV. Strong signals were relatively clear and audible, but way down on the S meter. I then realized I was using the KAT3A ATU to tune the 50ft of coax alone, as I had forgotten to join the coax at the lightning arrester on the ground rod outside my house. Next, I'm going to try a KX2 w/KXAT2 ATU on a folding aluminum lawn chair. Antennas? We don't need no stinking antennas! ;-) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3s-KAT3A-is-a-Great-ATU-tp7621449.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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 Message delivered to w5...@comcast.net __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

How do you know it's a full wave?

I don't!!! And in love my loop! It's quiet and I bust pileups with Dailey! It's great! If I had to guess it has somewhere between 250-300 feet of wire.

Of course not! Not when we have small, convenient dummy loads :-) Phil W7OX On 8/10/16 4:17 AM, MaverickNH wrote: Antennas?

Re: [Elecraft] K3s - KAT3A is a Great ATU!
I apologize in advance: It is a full wave on some (undisclosed) frequency. Again, sorry, but I couldn't help myself. 73, Bill, K8TE Message: 15 Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 07:54:29 -0500 From: Ronnie Hull mailto:w5...@comcast.net> > To: Wes Stewart mailto:wes_n...@triconet.org> > Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net <mailto:elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3s - KAT3A is a Great ATU!

Yes, a new operating challenge: WAS with 5 Watts and a dummy load, Ted ;-) A step up (or down!) from loading up bed springs, lawn chair and the like. 73, Phil W7OX On 8/10/16 10:59 AM, Dauer, Edward wrote: Reduces QRM on both ends.
