KT36XA is the result of many hours spent on perfecting the original KLM KT-34XA through computer
optimization confirmed by range and actual on-air tests. Five elements are active on 20 and 15 meters and all
six are working on 10 meters! This is the hottest performing tribander on the market!
A dual driven element
(log cell) creates a rig pleasing, flat match, and broad gain & front to back curves across 10, 15, and 20m. A 3
kW 4:1 balun efficiently matches the antenna to 50. All hardware has been upgraded to our machined
shorting bars and rugged center element mounts. This is the strongest tribander on the market! We probably
could have called it the “KB36XA” cuz it does! (“KB” = Kicks Butt).
