Hi Mike,

How did you plan to float the tuner? It would
probably be grounded through the coax shield and
possibly through the dc power ground, wouldn't it?

Anyone feeding a dipole with ladder line feed from an Icom AH-4 ?

I can find articles from people using it with whips and random length
wires.... but I'd like to feed a dipole with ladder line from it.... one leg
to the tuner's ground and the other leg the active tuner output. I think I
would be able to float the tuner without a fixed "ground" connection then
.... the non active leg acts like a counterpoise in a balanced antenna like
this right (?).
