I have just gotten my radio set up thanks to W3DVX. It has both the internal ATU and 100W power amp options in it. I was wondering if any of you have some tips on how to operate a Buddi Pole Deluxe antenna system? If you have any suggestions or some past experience, please advise.
Here are some of my questions: 1) Do you set the frequency 1st on the front of the radio AND then activate the tuner? 2) The antenna is rated for 250W. I would assume that this means it's okay to use the full 100W from the amp but I am concerned about the effects of SWR. 3) I was wondering if I'll get better results using the antenna as a vertical or do I want to try it on horizontal dipole (I believe you get about 16 feet of height above grade). 4) I was wondering if any one has had experience with the Buddipole on SSB? Please advise with whatever opinions you may have. Please know that I recognize I'm probably not going to get more than say NVIS type of propagation with this type of set-up (since I'm in a relatively flat area with no hills or the like). 73 KC2VNI-Steve -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Using-Buddi-Pole-Deluxe-Antenna-with-K3-tp4867678p4867678.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
