[Elecraft] KX3 Antenna Tuner & the T1

[Johnny Siu]

I use similar antenna set up as Wayne's for my K2 during portable 
operation but use internal KAT2 instead of T1.

The results have been very good and operaton is trouble free.

TNX & 73,

Entirely random. I'd estimate 45/55, if I were a betting man.

Definitely. In fact I've used this style of antenna with no feedline  
at all: just toss random length wires up into trees in two directions  
and connect them to the two balun inputs.

The 1:1/4:1 switch on the BL2 is also helpful. On bands where the  
antenna presents a difficult impedance, this switch gives the ATU a  
different way to match that is often successful.
