"It all depends" is/was the premise for my reply, Don. If new and old hams don't understand the potential problems with long runs of coax to/from an antenna they want to operate on multiple bands and an ATU in the shack they will be surprised at how inefficient their system is.
P.S. I don't subscribe to the notion that quality coax runs of < 150 feet make it "ok" to have the ATU in the shack while operating an antenna on multiple bands....what technical evidence of that posit do you have to share???? Note 1: I had a 43' vertical with top loading wires in a NORD-style config with my external ATU at the base of the vertical and 120' of coax back to the shack ---- never saw a VSWR delta of more than .2 between what was "seen" at the input to the tuner and what was "seen" at the xmtr while operating on 160 through 20 meters. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Sherwood-s-receiver-performance-table-updated-tp7616652p7616802.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
