I have since moved to a different Qth but same 80m dipole fed with 100' of 600ohm. Ending up with a 1:1 balun outside at the end of 600 ohms. But now I can't tune 10m. I could NOT tune it previously on 10m.

Well finally got my K3 repaired by Alan Wilcox. Nice to have this rig again. Also have spent some time using the FTDX101. Talk about a mess, not as simple at K3. But i still operate the FTDX101 as my primary rig. Now i just need more antennas other than this 80m dipole

Well im awaiting my next HF rig. Yaesu FTDX 101MP. Found one hella of a deal on one. When i receive it, I will send off my K3 to Alan Wilcox to have it reviewed and evaluated. If repairable K3 will become my portable/backup. I may put my KX3 for sale soon after.

:( thinking it was going to be a mobile car audio thread... haha

is the Schumacher BT-100 any good.... its on amazon with good reviews.

Im pleased with all the Breedlove products I've purchased over the years. Even others I've pointed his way are happy. Just buy and modify for your personal uses.

I just laid to rest my hound of 15yrs, his sister passed away last year. I didn't miss either of them till they both are gone.
