I had the same problem with a 25 ft wire, but after lengthening it to 41
feet the KX3 tunes all bands from 80 to 10 to less than 2:1 SWR.
Be sure to do a second tune if the first one doesn't get you where you want
to go, sometimes that makes a difference.
When portable (but not backpacking) I hav
This weekend I took my KX3 on a camping trip and used the 24' wire antenna
and 16' / 33' counterpoise wires I used for my KX1.
I was able to tune reasonably well on 20 meters and even 30, but was unable
to tune less than 3:1 on 40. Wayne used to recommend 24-28' for the KX1.
