Hi Dale
Are there any websites or information available to explain more detailed
about using antenna tuners for 2m ? I use two, one for 2m and one for
156megs frequently.

The antenna tuner does bring the reflected power down to almost 0 to the
radio and improves communications both receive and transmit. Could there be
a hidden damage or danger?

Thanks

Hi: Need alignment instructions for a Leader Instruments LAC-897 2M.

Antenna
Coupler form the 1970's(?) . Have an owners manual, but no alignment
instructions,
Thanks,

No clue there except that an antenna tuner for 2M is usually a very poor
idea as line loss from elevated VSWR can make the system very inefficient,
even though the rig is matched to the line.
