Actually, that is a *brute* tuner, capable of mega kilowatts! Something a bit scaled down is more practical IMHO. BUT the design is exactly what I was referring to.
The design principle is the same, but I have always used dual section capacitors so the shaft is at RF Ground potential (no insulators required). Number 12 or 14 wire in the coil should be all that is required for normal legal power levels. WZ5Q would probably consider it "wimpy", but for practical purposes, it should be just fine. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/31/2011 5:01 PM, ab2tc wrote: > Hi, > > Wow, gorgeously constructed tuner by WZ5Q.
