Thinking begets trouble. While reading the "KXAT1" manual. Pages 9 & 10
show a random length wire antenna system using a "POMONA 1296 BNC to
Dual Binding post adapter (mouser #565-1296 $11.83 or jameco #99354
$5.29). To my way of thinking ( here comes the trouble) 3 resonate wires
mated on 3 banana plugs will eliminate the need for the KXAT1. Wire #1
33' 1/4 wave resonate on 40m used as vertical. Wire #2 1/8 wave of 16.5'
used radial for 40m or vertical
element for 20m. Wire #3 a 1/8 wave length 8.5' radial for 20m. If you
also have 30m you would need a forth wire of 23' 1/4 wave section used
as a vertical element and a fifth wire of 11.5' used as an 1/8 wave
length radial. These will all fit in a sandwich bag. You would now have
a complete resonate antenna system for the KX1 See now I'm in trouble
again for thinking [g].
