A few days ago, when assembling my 43ft Vertical antenna, I ran a RG213 from rig to outside and a longer RG213 from antenna to outside my house. I later powered up the K3S/KAT3A to test that new 43ft Vertical, wondering if there must be a problem, as reception was quite a bit lower than my G5RV. Strong signals were relatively clear and audible, but way down on the S meter.
I then realized I was using the KAT3A ATU to tune the 50ft of coax alone, as I had forgotten to join the coax at the lightning arrester on the ground rod outside my house. Next, I'm going to try a KX2 w/KXAT2 ATU on a folding aluminum lawn chair. Antennas? We don't need no stinking antennas! ;-) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3s-KAT3A-is-a-Great-ATU-tp7621449.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
