Thanks Don.
No, it's not a trick question, just tricky for me! And yes, the feedline is ladderline. So the bottom line is that the 200 watts w/o a tuner is slightly better than 100 watts w/tuner using the same feedline and antenna. Every little bit helps. I live in an area where CC&R antenna limitations force the use of a stealth wire. <snip>Now if you were tuning that antenna at its feedpoint rather than at the transmitter, it would make the difference between a matched feedline and one with SWR - that is the advantage of a remote tuner. <endsnip> I can't wait to see the Elecraft KAT500, especially the remote tuner. That will be a whole new ballgame for me. By not having to use a tuned antenna design, I can then string a longer random wire to increase the RX capture area. Life is good. 73, Fred, AE6IC. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
