On the antenna being a problem... A nice thing about the KX3 is portability. Get yourself a bow-and-arrow, some dracon line (if needed), wire, and go find a park with nice trees and string up your temporary antenna. I have strung up a 20-meter dipole up about 35 feet in a county park. Usually the trick is finding a nice place for the antennas as well as a place to sit like a picnic bench. So, a card table and portable camping style chairs work too. Then again -- a single wire antenna with another ground wire laying across the ground works too.
Have fun... 73, phil, K7PEH On Jun 2, 2013, at 1:30 PM, Bill Blomgren <[email protected]> wrote: > I ordered a portable "getting started" type super delux thing, with most of > the options... a kx3... > > Now to see how fast the folk at Elecraft are..<G> > > (I suspect rather zippy, having seen some of the comments in here.) > > 10 watts is a lot of DB down from 100... like 10db down..
