"Thanks to everyone that replied to my situation. Looks like I'll be busy doing a lot of testing and experimenting today. I'll get back with the results later."
Gary N2UM I hope that will include the suggestion of placing the balun between the rig and tuner, just so you can report back on it. K7EL of EZNEC fame wrote pretty extensively on this several years ago. I've tried it, and it seems to work, but I was never quite comfortable not grounding the tuner (not sure why). But if you look at Palstar's balanced tuner, that's exactly what he does. There are similar balance-L circuits out there, so it's probably worth a try if you don't want to spend a lot of time trying to find a combination of feedline and antenna length that will make your balun happy on several bands. Let us know! 73, Parker WD8JOL K2 #2636 ______________________________________________________________ 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
