A bit? $380 plus tax and shipping is a lot to pay for a box that replaces something you can build for a few dollars! Unless you're hoping the loop will reject RX noise, a hunk of wire works fine with a K3! And a loop will reject ONE noise source at a time. Your money would be far better spent on a copy (even an older one) of the ARRL Antenna Book, which includes several receive loops you can build. K9AY has an extensive website devoted to RX antennas, and N6RK has also published a nice design that's easy to build. W8JI's website includes info on winding matching transformers for RX antennas. My website includes info on ferrite chokes to minimize RX noise (and lots of other tutorial material in RFI). 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
