[Elecraft] [K3] autotuner for K3 with AL-811 amp (KAT500 or other) / random wire antenna

[James Bennett]

John, 

Don's suggestion is for sure the way to go. My K3, KPA500, and KAT500 sit next to each other on my desk. I run about ten feet of RG-8 to the outside where I have my 4:1 balun, and then 110 feet of 450-ohm ladder line to my doublet at the other end of my property.
