Any experience using a delta Loop on KX3 & KXPA100 w tuners

[Dwight Anderson]

Hello

I have been using the KX3 and  KXPA100 with a Jackite pole as a vertical
off my deck.   I ran it with a single counterpoise using a 9:1 balun.  
Also direct, ie no balun, with 3 to 4 radials.
Surprisingly good results in very poor band conditions.  I have a choke
on my coax close by my radio.

I've been thinking about trying a delta loop with the apex on the top of
the Jackite, about 30' on each side.

Anyone try using a delta loop with the KX3&internal tuner? What about
KXPA100 and internal tuner?  Any issues using the tuner?

The ATU's in both Elecraft units can tune anything, very fun to use.

Much Regards,
Dwight

Hello Dwight,
Sorry for the delay, your email got moved and I've been busy as s.e.s.
W6D for Route 66 On The Air.
I used my KX3 with no amp and a 75meter wire loop at about 20ft for
Field Day and went coast to coast and border to border at 10w.
Tuner situation - I run a Yaesu FT 950 and don't use the onboard tuner
because I get much better results with an MFJ 969 manual tuner, which
will almost tune lawn furniture. I use the ATU in the KX3 (which
apparently *will* tune lawn furniture) because it gets better results
than the MFJ 969. Sorry, can't help with the amplifier part of the equation.
73,
Bruce W6WW
