I am using the U5. I have the U7 and the Beringer on the shelf as back ups. I tried the beringer and it had harmonic issues, so went back to the U5. So far, happy with the U5 Don WB6BEE

If it was me, I'd ask Larry. The Xonars are nice units, although, years ago, I'd heard about reliability issues, I think with the 7. 73, Jim K9YC

I am using an LP Pan / Win4K3Suite (Win10) as a panadapter for my K3. I have been using a ASUS Xonar U7 for a number of years. It's served me well but is now showing signs of critical failures and

Jim, you and I have had this discussion several times, I prefer an antenna that does not need a ground counterpoise and a tuner for most bands, sorry. END. Mel, K6KBE

Um, he said he was running a few feet of coax. I don't see the need for coax unless it is used to insert a common mode choke, but I DO see the STRONG need for a counterpoise. That can be anything

Thanks for the responses. For clarification I can get by with an antenna that will work 10m-40m. Unfortunately the place I will be setting up the radio and antenna has few trees which limits the

I know I will probably get a lot of what the heck feedback on this set-up, but it works for me using both my kX3 and K2 with internal tuners, I use a bnc test connector with two test poles connected

I know they're not popular, but I recommend an external tuner located at the end of the wire. The only exception might be if the coax is short and the wire is NOT a multiple of a half

EVER Heard of the ECOCFD? Not my design, but it WORKS. Mel, K6KBE

How are you transitioning from the coax to the end fed? If the antenna is connected directly to the jack on the K3 then the counterpoise would be necessity be connected to the chassis at some point.

John what bands are you wanting to operate? My favorite end fed wire is the ECOCFD End connected Off center fed dipole. I have the construction article if you are interested. Cheers, Mel, K6KBE

This article describes an antenna for use with the KX2/KX3, but of course would work with a K3:

I am considering using my K3 on Field Day with an end fed wire. I have studied the information from Wayne N6KR as well as looked at other information on this topic on line. I am wondering about a
