817 compatibility with Elecraft AX-3

 

I recently saw some info on the new Eleccraft antenna offering the AX-3.? The youtube videos I saw demonstrated it being used with Elecraft radios.? I know the antenna needs a tuner and I use an LDG Z817 with great success with my 817nd = will this setup work with the AX-1?? Thanks for any and all replies.

Comparing the tuning ranges of your LDG tuner and those in the Elecraft radios should provide you with the answer to your question.

I have one of the EleCraft AX1 small whip verticals.? I am not impressed, it shows over 20 db less on rcv than my 40m long wire.? I am sure you can make contacts, but I am sure you will miss many.? For the price one does not get much.??

But if you like this type of operation with very quick setup go for it.? One issue most follow is the counter poise wire, ground side, should not be left on the ground.? Many have separate pole or tripod for the wire.
