A Hamstick is a pretty narrow-band antenna and really needs to be set-up
with an SWR analyzer, otherwise you can have a hard time finding where it is
resonant. You don't have to be far off resonance (especially below 20
meters) for the SWR to be very high.
Also - check connectivity from the
I am trying to temporarily use a 20 m Hamstick on my
Outbacker tripod. The base I am using checks out fine with
nothing attached. In other words, the top where the antenna screws in shorts
with the pin on the UHF connector on the bottom of the base and is isolated
from the tripod. When I connect
to the antenna?
Just making sure I understand,

Bill,
What is the results if you connect the antenna to the K3 (without the
KPA500).
Even though it may show a DC short, that may be only at the DC
measurement. At RF, what is the impedance. An antenna analyzer
measurement may be helpful in determining the actual impedance at frequency.

Thanks Guy.The coax and connectors seem to check out OK, and I switched the
