I have had good luck with Wireman 534 26 AWG, 19 strand 40%
copper-clad steel (OD 0.020"). I have used it for a 2 element
20M wire beam and had it survive wind and snow storms. It is my
goto antenna wire for portable operations.

While I love my PX3, I could live without it. With a Buddipole, a good
antenna analyzer is essential. It takes out the guesswork.

Since this for the moment has morphed into the "shameless plug dept." the guys
up the road from me at the Joplin MO ARC also offer an antenna launcher:

My choice would be the PX3 from using one so long in the shack with a K3. On my
KX3 it's pretty bare bones but if only rig or more out of shack use I would use
a PX3 with it to locate other usage on the band easily.

Hi all,
I have been asked to give a demo / presentation of the KX3 and PX3 at my local
amateur radio club.
Can anyone perhaps help if they have already done a presentation using Power
Point or a PDF format.
Would really appreciate a copy.

Take a look at antennalaunchers.com for a good pneumatic launcher. I
have no pecuniary interest but have know the owner for 40 years now and
love the launcher.

Jim’s comments below.
Well, maybe just one thing…
I have a Buddipole and I kind of like it.
It works great in some situations where the other methods are not as easy to
accomplish.

Well, the two items focus on totally different areas of the ham station.
The analyzer will assist you in the various antenna installations to make the
system operate properly and efficiently.The panadapter will assist you in the

An antenna analyzer is quite handy, but the PX3 is a big winner for me.
Once I repaired my KX3 IQ output circuit, the spectral display came to
life and has proven to be a good tool for this and that. It is a bit
awkward for backpacking style of operating, but several folks do use it

Get a good "antenna" launcher so you can get some wire up in the air. Lower
cost and better value if you want a "portable" station. A friend has a
pneumatic launcher and he is happy with it.

Hi Charly,
It sounds like what you want is to enable Fixed Tune mode. In Fixed
Tune, the spectrum is stationary and the VFO A (and/or B) cursors move
up and down. To turn on fixed tune mode, press the menu button, then
using the encoder, select the menu item "FixTrack" . Pushing the

Hi,
Just this morning, I used my P3 to look at the signals answering TX3X,
looking for an expanded view, showing 3 KHz wide, and centered on the UP
frequency. This allows me to fit into the holes where no one is calling
during a pileup... It takes very little time to set this up on the P3.

You can look at comparison of LP-PAN and P3 on LP-Pan site. Take adjustment
for smaller dynamic range of your $20 stick.
Advantages of P3 are:
1. Small size,
2. Independence from PC = stability
3. Ability to change parameters with one pushbutton.
Tight integration with K3 including the radio's ba

I'm saving up for my next purchase which will likely be the P3 or the SubRX

have the cash to get the P3 during my initial purchase so I have a slightly

I'm using my KX3 in a ssb contest and calling cq with a message recorded

I tap MSG, hold 1 or 2 for a message to be repeated. While transmitting,
I unplug the headphones (or plug them in if previously unplugged). This
