It’s designed for /PM and stealth ops. In many other situations, of course, a
longer/higher antenna will be more efficient.

I think users of the AX1 would be better off thinking of IT as the
counterpoise, and making the most out of what they normally consider to
be the counterpoise wire.
Look at it this way. Unless you have a lot of current on the shield of
the coax (in which case IT is doing a lot of radiating)
Actually, it does. I reported on this in a message to the reflector titled "TX

One thought, have you run the Elecraft TX GAIN Calibration procedure
recently? It's built in to the K3 Utility.
Unfortunately, the Utility sets the TX gain at a midpoint frequency on
every band, frequencies I rarely use, and I was observing first dit "power
spikes" in the output of the KPA1500 wh

Greetings,
When I listen to my KX2 and KX3 using the Kenwood HS-5 headphones, I hear a
square wave-like buzz bilaterally. Active signals can push the buzz into the
background, but the buzz is annoying when there is no signal. Listening to the
KX radios on another set of headphones does not prod

Bummer here. You snooze, you loose on as the K2 parts get harder to find.
My unit #6011 lacks the amp, NR module, and the KX60V. Hope to get a 160
antenna up this fall after adding the 160m module.
The K2, for me, is most enjoyable to use as well.
