I am trying to temporarily use a 20 m Hamstick on my Outbacker tripod. The base I am using checks out fine with nothing attached. In other words, the top where the antenna screws in shorts with the pin on the UHF connector on the bottom of the base and is isolated from the tripod. When I connect a non-terminated coax to the base connector everything continues to check out as above. However, as soon as I connect the other end of the coax to ANT 1 of the K3, everything is shorted together (the top where the antenna screws in shorts with the tripod) and the KPA500 shows infinite SWR. The Hamstick folks couldn’t figure it out and HRO here in Phoenix was kind enough to exchange the Hamstick for another, with no effect. Any ideas and/or explanations? Thanks and 73, Bill N4IEZ / F4WAE
