“Handheld HF System – Elecraft KX3 and a AlexLoop Antenna
This is my first try no make a Magnetic Loop to be integrated to the Elecraft KX3.
This HF handheld ssstem can continuoslly cover form 30 Mhz to 14 MHz.
The antenna is very light and weight less then 350 grams.
There is a wide rubbber band that keeps the system soft pressed to the hand
Thanks for watching
