[Elecraft] KX3 with BL2 Question

[stan levandowski]

When operating a KX3 with the internal ATU into a window line fed 
doublet through a BL2 balun, what is the preferred connection method:

1.  Placing the BL2 right at the KX3 output eliminating any coax.  This 
puts the window line right next to the metal KX3, everything else on the 
operating desk and the operator.


2.  Placing the BL2 five feet away and higher which puts the window line 
further away and connecting it to the KX3 through a short coax jumper.


3.  Placing the balun (weathered-proofed) right at the doublet's center 
and using coax for the whole run to the KX3.


Thanks and 73,
