[Elecraft] KX3 pedestrian mobile?

[Larry D. Warner]

If you want pedestrian mobile, look online at 'phone and radio chest pack'.
Just do a web search.  There are many out there to use.  I volunteer with
Search and Rescue and there are as many examples of chest packs as there are
volunteers.  All sizes and shapes.

 

I'm a new HAM and a new KX3 owner, but, my experience with the KS3 portable
using the small 2M antenna Elecraft sells is not very good.  The RF pickup
in the mike cord over rides the audio and it is unintelligible.  Me and
Elmer tried some ferrite cores around the mike cord but it didn't improve it
enough to really be noticeable.  I would like to use the KX3 this way in my
search and rescue but it isn't working out that way.  If you find a way to
do it, let me know what that is.
