I have had good luck with Wireman 534 26 AWG, 19 strand 40% copper-clad steel (OD 0.020"). I have used it for a 2 element 20M wire beam and had it survive wind and snow storms. It is my goto antenna wire for portable operations. 73 Bill AE6JV On 10/5/15 at 1:52 PM, j...@audiosystemsgroup.com

Neither. Get a good "antenna" launcher so you can get some wire up in the air. Lower cost and better value if you want a "portable" station. A friend has a pneumatic launcher and he is happy with it. Jim W6AIM . -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Hello all, I am very new to the HF world and slowly putting together a portable station. I'm looking for some advice on my next move. I currently have a KX3 (installed KXFL3, KXAT3, KXBC3, KX3-2M), the Elecraft MH3 microphone and a Buddipole deluxe antenna (with extras for different

An antenna analyzer is quite handy, but the PX3 is a big winner for me. Once I repaired my KX3 IQ output circuit, the spectral display came to life and has proven to be a good tool for this and that. It is a bit awkward for backpacking style of operating, but several folks do use it on the

Well, the two items focus on totally different areas of the ham station. The analyzer will assist you in the various antenna installations to make the system operate properly and efficiently.The panadapter will assist you in the operation of the station, once the station is operating properly If

My choice would be the PX3 from using one so long in the shack with a K3. On my KX3 it's pretty bare bones but if only rig or more out of shack use I would use a PX3 with it to locate other usage on the band easily. Fred/N0AZZ Sent from my iPad > On Oct 5, 2015, at 2:49 PM, David Davis

You can look at comparison of LP-PAN and P3 on LP-Pan site. Take adjustment for smaller dynamic range of your $20 stick. Advantages of P3 are: 1. Small size, 2. Independence from PC = stability 3. Ability to change parameters with one pushbutton. Tight integration with K3 including the radio's
