Regardless of what else you carry, I recommend taking a BNC to double binding post adaptor and two wires, 25 feet each. Connect one wire to the red post and toss it into a tree or over a bush, connect the other wire to the black post and lay it on the ground. Press ATU TUNE and you’ll be good on 40 m through 10 m. This is described in the KX2 manual and versions of it go back to the KX1 ATU manual about 20 years ago.
I wind up my wire figure-8 style on “midi winders” from SOTAbeams. They are similar in length to the KX3, so pack nicely. https://www.sotabeams.co.uk/midi-winders/ I use 26 AWG stranded insulated “toughcoat silky” wire from The Wireman. https://thewireman.com/product/antenna-wire-26-awg-copper-clad-steel-stranded-jacketed/ wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Sep 1, 2023, at 12:46 PM, Bill Priakos via Elecraft > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > > I am new to the site – I hear some antenna designs for portable operation > with the KX3 posted here!
