[Elecraft] The use of a doublet

[THOMAS BRERETON]

I have long been an advocate of the center fed doublet.
I have put them up in numerous state and even in Germany.
Of course I have used different tuners. Folks here in this
write about of all kinds of external tuners.

May I make a radical suggestion? Use the internal K3 
antenna tuner! Now I know that most transceivers have 
internal tuners that will operate well only up to 3:1 swr.
The K3 tuner is rated much higher than that. Indeed, 
I was very surprised how well it  works here in my station
with my 135' foot dipole with 450 ohm ladder line and a
balun.
I highly recommend that one should consider the K3 tuner.
It's a winner.
