Hi Paul,

I can recommend LZ1AQ´s active loop antenna.
See

http://active-antenna.eu/

It offers a nice variety of antenna configuration options, and it plays
very well here as a separate RX antenna at my urban & noisy QTH. The unit
is of high quality, and very well documented.
I am using it with my KX3 and a homebrew switchbox which uses reed relays
for QSK switching, controlled by the KX3 PTT output taken from the ACC2
jack.

73,

Wouter Jan PE4WJ
