[Bill Johnson]

Wayne,

Do you use a counterpoise with the whip?

Tip #1:

If you use a lightweight whip antenna with the KX1 (Maldol AH-14, 
etc.), you can hold the KX1 with one hand and tune the VFO with your 
thumb. You can also use your thumb to push the VFO knob, which selects 
the tuning steps (10 Hz, 100 Hz, or 1 kHz). Tuning the VFO this way is 
especially useful when you're just scanning the band, looking for 
signals. If Morse audio feedback is turned on, you don't even need to 
look at the display.
