Another two cents worth ... A few years ago there was a dipole advertised in QST and other places that claimed to be "broadband with a very low SWR on all bands". Turns out an XRAY of the junction box / center insulator revealed a resistor (50 ohms?) in parallel with the coax connector and the dipole. (;-)
73! Ken - K0PP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excuse me for being ignorant... Cut and paste from the Chameleon web page "antenna base has an integral broadband impedance matching network allowing broadband antenna tuning. An external antenna tuner is required to provide a low VSWR." I see very little difference between this antenna, a PAR EFHW or any other EFHW that uses an impedance matching unit. Just my 2 cents worth Flame suit is ON.!! -- Dave G KK7SS Richland, WA '59 Morris Minor 1000 - working on it :| '65 Sprite - running :) '76 Midget - co-owned with #4 Son :) '06 Honda Civic Hybrid ------------------------------ *From:* grosseindienne <[email protected]> *To:* [email protected] *Sent:* Monday, November 19, 2012 12:24 PM *Subject:* [KX3] Re: Can't believe my Chameleon Antenna!
