This is why I have permanently mounted (Bird) samplers mounted in my more sophisticated repeater installations. This way I don't have to worry about things changing when I need to tune for maximum smoke. Bird has a table that can be utilized, but you just need to insure you add or remove 1/4 wavelength of cable; considering the coaxial length of the sampler. This is also the reason cheap circuit board samplers/swr meters shouldn't be used in serious repeater installations. >cheers Kevin, hope to see you at Dayton again (04) > And you as well....
