Low would be much less than a quarter wave, high would be much more than
a quarter wave.

You do have a copy of the ARRL Handbook, don't you? Every ham should
have one, and there's a lot of tutorial material in it. I'd bet that

No dumb questions, just dumb answers, from time to time.

I just finished building a half-wave 40-meter dipole and have it nicely
tuned for the middle of the SSB segment. Out of necessity, the tuning
process was carried out with the antenna horizontal.
Feedpoint Z of horizontal antennas is slightly

"Anybody out there super-well versed in the behavior of the half-wave dipole?"
There are only two possible answers:
Yes
No
I speculate that, given the expertise of this group, "Yes" is the right answer.
However, I have no clue how the answer to your question will be useful to you.
I suppose
Entirely possible this is a late April Fool’s query, or a freshman fraternity

From the programmers Manual:

I had problems at one point due to the 3 watt resistor on the filter board
desoldering itself causing the amp to have errors. The RF deck went back to
Elecraft and Renee got it repaired. There were also a few hardware updates done
while it was back for a visit in Watsonville.

It's showing up on the reflector. Kind of leading, no win question. But
I'm a suckered. Been using 1/2 wave dipoles for 60 years. What is the
question?

Now that my K3/P3 combo has been sold and I have a shiny new K4D, I have no
need for this Tascam sound card. I used it for years to run digital modes
(JT65, JT9, FT8, PSK31) with the K3, a KX3, and a KX2. Works great! Included is
the Tascam in the original box, a pair of audio cables (RCA
The idling current displays at 2A, but you have to be in operate. When the HIGH
SWR error occurs the amp goes in to standby. Putting it back into operate after
the error the idle current is again displayed as 2A, waiting for the next
intermittent HIGH SWR failure.
I hate intermittents.

Check your idling current -- should be stable at about 2 amps.
