Has anyone found some universal wire antenna lengths that will work
with the
KX-1 and internal antenna tuner - over all four (80, 40, 30, 20) bands?
I bought a 50ft roll of speaker wire from Radio Shack and un-zipped the two wires so I had an antenna wire and a counterpoise. It turned out mine was 51 and a fraction feet long. I have not experimented with different lengths, just used what came on the spool. I find it loads very nicely on all 4 bands with the antenna wire as a sloper or inverted L, and the counterpoise stretched out or even place in a square or circle (e.g., around the periphery of a hotel room).
Your results may vary, of course.
