A good quality Z-Matcher has isolation caps on the trimmer ports so I don't think the matcher itself is producing any RF radiation. I don't understand your description of the z Matcher as introducing any mismatch. The mismatch is already there as a result of some disparity between the source, load and cable impedances. All the matcher does is permit you to match the source and cable impedances. In a message dated 6/29/2007 4:40:45 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
The z matcher is another option but in my practical experience it makes the jumper radiate RF.... you spend all that money on RG214/RG400 double silver plated shielding and then deliberatley mismatch it?
