[Elecraft] Random wire lengths for antennas

My KX2 Owner's Manual, page 10, says "A length of about 25 feet for each wire, matched to the KX2's output using an antenna tuner (see ATU, pg. 11) will typically provide good performance on 40-10 m. (Without an ATU, resonant lengths are required for each band.) This antenna is ideal for outings where all gear must fit into a small bag (e.g., our model CS-40)."

I just bought my KX2 in late November/December 2016, so I presume this is the latest edition of the Owner's Manual.
