KX3 with amp. Most flexibility and best receiver.

I have a new Clark that I use with a HyGain AR-40 rotator and a Mosley Mini tribander. Works great. Yes, it is expensive. It goes up to 35 Ft - the beauty is that I can move it's location in the yard easily; raise and lower easily for adjustment or when gone on vacation. Worth it to me.

I have it running on a Win 8 Lenovo generic box. Use it for cw and digital modes, but no rotator control.

Very happy camper

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I anticipated the need for a choke and expect it to be noisier than my ad dxcc. Love my ad dxcc...apex is at 50 Ft and end at 30. Works well

Not only is 0 beating good practice, you also get the most out of your filters. It is a necessity in close-in quarters in contesting.

Vizbug...makes it effortless...makes my vibroplex feel clunky at best

V5 had a lot of bugs and it's control of the K3 was flaky - however, V6 which is a complete rewrite, is stable and I have experienced no problems with my K3. Also, tech support is quick and excellent.

Good feedback and good to know. Bought it for 40m and will play with it that way.

Thanks much,

Please let us know how you like it. I am going to try the Mosley Mini 32 AW. Just took delivery today but need to find time to finish a few other projects and getting past the Spring rains.

How do you like the EndFez 40/20?

I have the same antenna that I plan to hang this month and was thinking about using 450 ohm twin-lead too.

The antenna will be at 35 Ft on it's north end and about 60 Ft at the south end, and mid-point at about 45 ft.....feedline drop to ground is about 45 Ft and then another 50 Ft to a remote antenna switch.

Where should I change from twin lead to coax, when the twin lead hits the ground?

The only way to the switch is on the ground, but won't this detune the twin lead or is it ok to run along ground surface?

What adapter would I need to change from twin lead to coax at or before the switch (coax 8 port switch)?

Any other issues I should consider (e.g. attachment at antenna)?

Thanks

That is exactly why I passed on the SteppIr....too many parts that can go wrong. Got an HF6V which was easy to tune with an analyzer...little to mess up.

Funny how everything that Stan predicted would happen with Flexradio since the announcement of the 6000 series occurred......has transpired...Stan, you are right, in essence their bad karma has come back and bit them in the behind
