Hi Tom Yes, that is excellent feedline for multiband antennas. Here I have a 60 ft centerfed flattop with 450 ohm window line for feeder. I can load this antenna on 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10m. The feedpoint Z at the shack end changes from band to band, so I either use a 1:1 balun or a 4:1 balun, whichever gives me the best match on a given band. I put one balun on ANT1 port of the ATU, and the other balun on the ANT2 port. With banana plugs and jacks, it only takes a moment to switch from one port to the other. The ATU remembers the settings and ANT selection as you jump from band to band. Go for it! 73, Bob N6WG

I have a K2 (s/n 1103) without the 100 watt amp and with the internal low power ATU. Unless procrastination gets the best of me again, I'd like to string up a new wire antenna this spring. I have a chunk of 400 ohm ladder line, which I'd like to use as the feedline and would like to know how and if I can use this with the K2/ATU. Thanks Tom WB2QDG k2 1103 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
