Wayne, Do you use a counterpoise with the whip?
Bill K9YEQ K-2 (#35), KX1 (#35) Tip #1: If you use a lightweight whip antenna with the KX1 (Maldol AH-14, etc.), you can hold the KX1 with one hand and tune the VFO with your thumb. You can also use your thumb to push the VFO knob, which selects the tuning steps (10 Hz, 100 Hz, or 1 kHz). Tuning the VFO this way is especially useful when you're just scanning the band, looking for signals. If Morse audio feedback is turned on, you don't even need to look at the display. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
