No. When I moved the balun inside, it went from a 30' length of coax to a 4' length. No change in the SWR jump.
Likewise no difference in the jump when changing from a 4:1 to a 1:1 balun. It's difficult to change the open wire feedline length: If I shorten it, it won't reach the antenna, if I lengthen it, it performs poorly laying on the ground ;-) I doubt that the 3' length of coax from the K3 to the Palstar makes a 2:1 SWR difference between the two tuners on 80m.

Which is pretty much what > you're doing with the Palstar being external (adding more coax). ______________________________________________________________ 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
