Hello Nicholas,

Before you start drilling holes in your window frame, look here :
http://www.qsradio.com/Mounts.htm

Scroll down to item FTP-4/U-XL, the "PaneRelief" coax feed thru panel. It is
a nice way to run your coax (or twin lead "ladder line" or open wire feeder)
outside without drilling holes in wall or window frame. I bought one from
qsradio at a  local hamfest.... works great!  Its a simple enough idea,
could be easily homebrewed using the photos on the website as a construction
guide......or you could use  a piece of wood as a substitute for plexiglas.

Hope this helps....I'm sure you will get lots of advice about what type
antennas to try......you will be amazed at how well the K2s autotuner
works.....have fun with your new K2....I'm sure you will like it.
