It has a tuned feeder instead of a conventional tuner.


I am curious to know, have you measured the power both at the antenna
and the radio to see what loss there might be? I wouldn't expect very
much, personally.

On a G5RV, it is taught that the twin-feedline is also part of the
antenna itself, is that true in your model as well?
