Sir:

I have used mag loops before.
an swr bridge is not necessary, but sometimes desirable.

Using the alex loop and my kx1  I was able to achieve less than 1.4 : 1 swr 
reliably by tuning for max noise.

Going to set up a g4tph loop tonight, and try with the kx3.
I'll let the list know how it goes.
