I absolutely concur with Walter-a simple wire antenna will be easier to setup and use,and with the exceptional internal tuner of the KX2 there’s no reason to spend for anything else. Although it’s not as efficient the AX1/AEX1 might be worth considering as it may be easy to setup for you depending on your situation.
