Hi Julian:
What sort of antenna configurations will the T1 work with? Will it work
with short whip antennas, such as you would use pedestrian mobile? How
versatile is it compared to the KAT2, which seems to be able to match just
about anything!
I'm Field Testing the T1 as I write this reply...
So far, the T1 has handled every antenna (and band, 80-10M) I've thrown at it.
Granted, I've only exposed the T1 to my 80/40/30 meter dipole (on ALL
bands, 160 thru 10m) and my Bencher SkyHawk tribander (on ALL bands, 160
thru 10m), but it acquitted itself quite well on all bands but 160m, which
was pretty much of a BIG stretch anyway.
Within the next few days, I'll be hanging some SHORT wires outside the
shack, with matching counterpoises laid out on the floor of the shack, and
will be exposing the T1 to those as well. From having FTed all of the
previous versions of ATU from Elecraft, I expect nothing less than
excellent handling of these antennas as well.
Unfortunately, I have no short whip for using while ped. mobile, but I feel
certain that several of the others who are FTing the T1 as well will be
able to address your concerns within the next week (max.).
If it warms up just a wee bit later today, I'll try to get something up
outside and see what results I can conjure up for you... just as a beginning.
73,
Tom N0SS
