It works better than expected!  I setup the KX3 on the front deck and worked some stations with good signal reports earlier this week (SSB).  I was running all 15 watts!

Glad to hear you received the AXE1 and gave it a shake-down. Operation with any very short antenna is a challenge, of course, but sometimes it's the quickest way to get on the air.

Anyone else try their AXE1 extender yet?
