I operate fairly often from the museum submarine, USS Cavalla which has a 114 ft long wire fed with a 4:1 unun and 80 feet of Wiremen Super 8 coax. The ATU in the K3 handles all bands 80 through 10 without a hitch. I have not tried it on 160 or 6 because the unun I used is sorry enough on 80 and 10. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ

On one of the two K3's we had at FD (NR3X), we used an 80M dipole fed with 450 ohm ladder line. Operators could not believe that I terminated the ladder line into a 4:1 balun, then directly into the K3 (KAT3). Using the internal tuner, the antenna became a multi-bander without a glitch. This particular rig was used on all bands except 40M CW, in which another K3 was used. Gotta love it.
