[Elecraft] New KX3 up & running.

[lstavenhagen]

Congrats! And on the Buddipole, I'd suggest ordering a set of the long
telescoping whips (the near-10 footers) and just getting that overwith now,
if you don't have them already. The stock short whips work ok on 15 meters
and up, but on 20 meters tuning gets very very sensitive and narrow-banded.
30 and 40 forget it lol.

With the long whips, it's much easier to tune on the lower bands, and 15 and
up they're long enough to form full length dipoles. The performance on the
air is significantly better as well...

But even so, the Buddipole is one of the best ham radio investments you'll
find you've made, next to your Elecraft rigs of course ;)
