[Elecraft] Mobile with the K2 (was Lo P ATU -- help!)

[WA5PB]

Wayne,

You brought up something that I have been wondering about.  As to using the
K2 mobile with its ATU for 10-20 coverage, what monoband antenna should give
best reception and transmit, theoretically.  Since the ATU is tuning for
received and transmit, would the ideal setup be something like a Hamstick
designed for 20m since it has the longest electrical length?

Has anyone done any experimenting with various wavelength mobile monoband
antennas with the ATU?

Glad to be of help, Bill! Have fun with the rig.

I use a very small 11 m magmount (Radio Shack) for mobile ops myself.
Lots of fun to try to work 10-12-15-17-20 meters with the little
critter. I've made contacts on all five bands. The best DX was
Taiwan--broke a pileup at 8 watts on 10 meters from my Honda CRV!

Wayne
