Re: [Elecraft] Really OT: Inside-the-vehicle HF antennas (possible bonus points)

[Jim Rhodes]

OK, get a big fiberglass spoiler on the back and cram as much wire as you
can in it. The feed it against the body via An autotuner on the inside of
the trunk lid. After showing her the drawing of that you shouldn't have too
much trouble talking her into a screwdriver antenna.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and N1MM

[Don Wilhelm]

Ronnie,

Select the KX3 or if that is not present, select K3.
Note, no hyphens in Elecraft model numbers, it is "KX2" and not "KX-2".

Perhaps N1MM will offer a specific KX2 selection in the future.  That is 
not something that Elecraft can add.


73,
Don W3FPR

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 and N1MM

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

Ronnie,

As the gang has said you can use N1MM and select KX3 as the rig.

as a bonus, you may find these N1MM CW macros useful in your operation.  you 
can change the # (serial number) out with.. say Wherever you are, for instance 
5nn on Oahu HI.. or on SOTA NAXXX... and they can be very useful.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2AT2 vs T1 Tuner?

[Ignacy]

The balun made of  a jumper between the radio and the tuner works at low SWR
so its losses are negligible. The same jumper on the outside will work at
possibly very high SWR and may have substantial losses.

Ignacy, NO9E
