"I am also curious of the experience of the group with the SteppIR verticals. There is similar up front cost as the vertical / remote tuner solution (assuming a new weather proof tuner)."
Hi Dave: Sometimes it's hard to tell this Yahoo Group from the SteppIR Yahoo Group. There are so many of the same call signs posting messages. I've had my BigIR with 80 meter coil for almost 2 years and I am extremely pleased with it. No internal tuner, no external tuner, no tuner period. Just excellent SWR everywhere on 80 through 6 meters. And not just part of each band, the entire band. Performance is probably the same as any similar sized vertical. You get out what you put in. Lay down a lot of copper and you'll be rewarded with excellent performance. The transceiver tracking feature works perfectly with the K3. I know it works perfectly with the K2 as well. The antenna length automatically changes as you QSY. 73, Mike K2MK ______________________________________________________________ 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
