As I recall, the procedure for tuning the caps is to be done with the tuner out and bypassed with a jumper, so I don't see why the tuner blocking the cap would be a problem.
Regarding the alignment tool. I wish I could say for sure which one is needed, but I know the one I use comes from the ceramic alignment set sold by MorseX (<http://www.morsex.com/tools/#alignset>). They are not cheap, but the bonus is that the relatively small red reversable tips come off the holder/driver extension and you can pull it out and put it in your carry-with KX1 tool bag (along with your antenna tuner jumper). dt . --- Alan Beck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have noticed that my noise floor is very low on 20 meters compared to > 30 and 40.
