Has anyone tried using a KX3 on 6 or 10 on a road bike?
I don't mean to ask whether I should buy a KX3 for the purpose, which a
while ago led to a long debate here about the compatibility of Elecraft
gear and motorcycles. I already own one (i.e. a KX3 and a bicycle). And
the traffic risk from distracted bicycling is very low here in the Denver
area, where we are blessed with extensive bike paths that almost nowhere
intersect with streets and roads.
Practical questions such as mounting, antennas, whether the bicycle frame
(it's chrome-moly steel) is a sufficient counterpoise for a quarter-wave
whip, best VOX headsets to fit under a helmet and how to make one work
best with a KX3, etc.
Any experience out there? Thanks,
Ted, KN1CBR
