True but there are tuning solutions that appear safe at low power yet exceed the amp return voltage allowances at high power (it isn’t the best tuning mix) and trip the amp.
The amp is re-enabled as soon as the tuning is completed, a risk. So it’s wise to at least test the match after tuning, with the amp on, with just the tuning energy and if ok (medium power out of the amp), then raise to the desired level of output for a ‘final’ test. At least until the tuner has been programmed for all bins in each band. Using resonant antennas is SO much simpler. 😉 Rick NK7I Smell Czech corruptions are inevitable > On Jan 8, 2020, at 6:51 PM, Lyn Norstad <l...@lnainc.com> wrote: > > Jack - > > I don't see any need to do that.
