Makes perfect sense to me ... now that I have heard it!
Thanks very much, Ron.

End fed dipoles can be very good if they're in the clear!
Sure, we'd all like 15 elements at 60 feet. And, sure, most of us have to do
with a little less...

I am talking about a tuner in between the XV-50 and a rather depressing
little end-fed dipole antenn
That's normal Joseph. Here's what's happening.
The XV output power is determined by measuring the RF voltage at the antenna
connector. That is converted into a level that lights the power LEDs. The
problem is that the output power measurement is ONLY accurate when the XV is
terminated in a 50-ohm

Why would you need a tuner between the K2 and the XV-50? The XV-50 has

Why would you need a tuner between the K2 and the XV-50? The XV-50 has an
input attenuator that provides a good 50 ohm load, and the K2 should drive
it just fine with only a piece of coax connected between the K2 and XV-50 -
the SWR on that coax line should be very close to 1:1.
