Just to confuse the subject... ;^}
I am running a KX1 with an antenna lenght of 21' and a 'ground' length of 21'.
The KXAT can match these to < 1.2:1 on 40/30/20 with little effort.
I'm taking the approach of trying to use a ferrite toroid based inductive load in
series with the antennna wire.
By trail and error, I have constructed a F50 toroid (mix unknown but the whole
toroid is plain black) that measures out at 40uH and ~800X at 3.55 Mhz using
an MFJ-269 Pro....
This weekend I intend to try inserting this between the KX1 BNC socket and the
antenna wire and, if I have the time, in the middle, to see if the KXAT can give
me a match...
I don't think end loading will be practical...
Any input from the antenna guru's out there would be welcomed...
