Put myself on the waiting list for a KX3. Hope to have it in the
August/September timeframe.
In the meantime, I am starting to put together a ultra-portable kit that
will allow me to operate from just about anywhere.
Since I will be flying quite a bit at times, I am starting with a
Pelican 1470 case to protect the KX3 and the other items needed for
operation.
Since I may be restricted at times to operating from a hotel room, I
have been looking at a collapsible antenna such as the MFJ-1840T, etc
for each of the bands I may want to work. Since I hope to be able to
purchase the auto-tuner option by the time my number comes up, I figured
on throwing in a roll of wire for when I can operate outside. Would
like to see what other options those of you who already have KX3's have
had good luck with. Depending on conditions/where I will be operating
from, I might switch antennas because I can if for no other reason.
Havent decided on getting the Iambic Paddle or not. Dont do a lot of
operating on CW but might change that.
Suggestions ?
