Marc, Message sent.? I also added that the Menu 09 Gain doesn't seem to adjust DIG gain as documented but adjusting MIC GAIN also changes the DIG audio input levels. -- Grace & peace, Tim AF6TF

Re: Tuner
All external tuner options are great. If you want extended coverage a small self contained tuner is nice. After all we did buy a QRP rig...............to work QRP. Amps are great and a add-on may be

The in-depth manual written by Stephan HB9EAJ is a wonderful and thorough study of EFHW antennas.? It is now one of my must read's. -- Grace & peace, Tim AF6TF

Re: Just Arrived!
It uses a separate cable with RJ45 connectors on each end. You choose the length of cable you want at the time of order. I don't think you can use a standard Ethernet cable. The remote control has 4

Re: Favorite ultra portable antenna for use with tx500
I love it. It has outstanding performance. Mag Loops are fussy to tune. This takes away that annoyance with the remote tuning and uses only one cable - the coax. I¡¯m QRP 95% of the time but it nice

Re: Favorite ultra portable antenna for use with tx500
How do you like the A100? It looks like an interesting loop with capability of 70w. Unheard of in most loops that size, price as well as being portable. Not to mention, it is relatively inexpensive

While looking at the ATU-100 on Amazon, I found that the LDG Z-817 was listed as an alternative.Tried & true QRP tuner for about the same cost. -- Grace & peace, Tim AF6TF

Re: Favorite ultra portable antenna for use with tx500
This is where a loop comes in handy. You don't need an open window to get out. Set it up in the hotel room and operate. I have been amazed at times with how well I can get out. I walkways look for a

Re: Favorite ultra portable antenna for use with tx500
I use the 40m EFHW by KM4ACK.? I mostly use 40m for SSB, cw, js8 and Pat Winlink and 20m for ft8.? IMHO an EFHW is hard to beat for multi and and no tuner. -- 73 Tim KF7VUT SKCC # 12611T
