Note that the link name incorrectly refers to the AX1. We were in a hurry This will be corrected tomorrow.
We’ll have a few dozen of these at the DX convention in Visalia, California tomorrow. If you’re at the show, please drop by for a demo.

Those who own radios like the Xiegu G90 will appreciate the 30 watt power handling of the AX3.
Of course, regulars here will know I’m a big fan of the Elecraft AX1 and AX2 antennas, so I will certainly test the AX3 as well!
