Hi Gary,
I just used my KX1 on a mini trip. Used a endfedz dipole for 80/40/20.
Worked great with the kx1. Used a small coax from the rig and ran the dipole
up into a low tree using my shoe as a weight to get it up there HI HI. (got
the shoe back ). the dipole is about 80ft long. and I had a very low swr
with the rig.
You can check it out on web.
