What I'd do if I was carrying it all on my back is take about 3
different lengths of wire with banana plugs on end, and banana jacks on
the other.
Use one as a counterpoise if needed. Use one or two as the radiator,
depending on how well it tunes. You won't be using a resonant antenna
because the KX2/KX3 won't tune it.
53' gets mentioned a lot as a good "random" wire length for most bands.
I think the other two could be 8' and 15' since one would be a
counterpoise, and the other would be used to change the overall length
of the antenna itself -- that'd give you two steps.

are either a KX 3 or KX 2 both with autotuners.
