I'm not familiar with the TS-830 so I assumed he had a real problem.
It's a sub-set of the same problem I solved with my 20m rotatable
dipole. I provided the same solution I presently use and with it he
gets the added bonus of 20m-10m operation. BTW, 13 cent/ft 450 ohm
ladder-line with a 9:1 SWR is a lot less lossy than 13 cent/ft coax
with an SWR of 1:1. He gets all band operation above 14 MHz and greater
efficiency for half the price. Why is that over the top? :-)
