Alan, Isn't that true of most tuners, that higher impedance is tolerated (matched) better than low impedance?
If so, that easily explains why a 4:1 (or worse, a 9:1) balun is a bad choice on a multiband antenna. Such devices might lower the impedance too much on any given band. It might also explain why they're more lossy. 73 es HNY, Rick WA6NHC -----Original Message----- From: Alan Bloom On some bands it barely made 10 ohms at the low end but it would typically do much better than that at other phase angles. For example, it would match much greater than 250 ohms resistive on most bands. ______________________________________________________________ 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
