Hello Dwight,
Sorry for the delay, your email got moved and I've been busy as s.e.s.
W6D for Route 66 On The Air.
I used my KX3 with no amp and a 75meter wire loop at about 20ft for
Field Day and went coast to coast and border to border at 10w.
Tuner situation - I run a Yaesu FT 950 and don't use the onboard tuner
because I get much better results with an MFJ 969 manual tuner, which
will almost tune lawn furniture. I use the ATU in the KX3 (which
apparently *will* tune lawn furniture) because it gets better results
than the MFJ 969. Sorry, can't help with the amplifier part of the equation.
73,
Bruce W6WW

Hello
I have been using the KX3 and KXPA100 with a Jackite pole as a
vertical off my deck. I ran it with a single counterpoise using a
9:1 balun. Also direct, ie no balun, with 3 to 4 radials.
Surprisingly good results in very poor band conditions. I have a
choke on my coax close by my radio.
I've been thinking about trying a delta loop with the apex on the top
of the Jackite, about 30' on each side.
Anyone try using a delta loop with the KX3&internal tuner? What about
KXPA100 and internal tuner? Any issues using the tuner?
The ATU's in both Elecraft units can tune anything, very fun to use.
Much Regards,
Dwight
