Hi LS, You may want to try an ATU. In that case, all you need to do is roughly peak the coil tap in RX mode, then let the ATU match the antenna across a full band for TX purposes. I do this all the time, with excellent results, at least with the ATUs in the K3/KX3/etc. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
