[Elecraft] Mobile Radio Dreams

[Mel Farrer]

Hi, 
I use the KX3 in the mobile with a HLA300Plus amplifier and get >200 watts clean into a HI-Q 5-160 screwdriver antenna, going on 3 years, no problems.  Nice, because when I get to the park, I disconnect the KX3 and it is on the park table with my small battery and end fed wire.....  Great fun.
BTW., if you go to UTube California Hammin' you can see my mobile set  up, Cheers,


Mel, K6KBE

IMO, the KX3 with its 100W amp comes awfully close to being an ideal HF 
rig for mobile use. All it takes is a suitable mount that puts it at eye 
level.

For something fancier, look at what Glen, W6GJB, did for an op riding 
shotgun for the 7th Area QSO Party. The 100W amp is in the floor of the 
back seat. Slide #8 in http://k9yc.com/7QP.pdf
