[Elecraft] Portable Antennas (Is there an "easy" button?)

[Rex Lint]

I don’t quite get their claim: "The SWR is 1:1".  

They are using a tuner, so the question is, what is the SWR on the ANTENNA
side of the tuner, not what does the K3 says with the tuner on... 

Now, can you make 2 of these and place them at a strategic distance between
them, making the other one a little longer for a 2 element parasitic array?

One more question...

Where can I get one of the small ABS boxes like the group sells and is show
in the video?
