Powerpole Adapters for the Elecraft KX2 and KX3

Most radio amateurs are aware of the advantages of Powerpole connectors for DC distribution. SOTABEAMS has introduced neat screw-on Powerpole adapters for the popular Elecraft KX2 and KX3 portable transceivers. The adapters make it easier to use these radios with your existing Powerpole DC systems and are ideal for field operations.

New SOTABeams Compact Heavy-Duty 7 m (23 ft) Portable Mast

Working with a specialist composites manufacturer, SOTABEAMS has designed a unique heavy-duty fibreglass mast. The Tactical 7000hds has been designed for portable operators who need a more rugged and reliable mast than the normal fibreglass telescopic poles that are available. 

With a packed length of less than 60cm (23 inches), this very much a "go anywhere" solution. The mast uses heavy-gauge composites to make it unusually stiff - ideal for use in extreme weather conditions where the tension in wire antennas can cause lesser masts to bend and ultimately fail. The Tactical 7000hds also incorporates a base shock absorber and comes in a camouflage style bag.
