Hi Ken, was wondering which model would suit my application, I wish to
Remote the tuner 100ft from Transmitter, in a shed, and then 6mtrs to my
Ground Mounted verticle fed with coax, the verticle is a BUTTERNUT HF2V
which is resonant on 3 freqs 1.845/3.650/7.100 Mhz, and I would want
coverage say 30/20/17/15 Mtrs and maybe a few RFDS at 5MHZ and 8 Mhz, to get
the MAX use out of the beast, can i remote mount the AT-11MP in the shed and
use it in AUTO MODE, would that work ok, or should i go for the RT-11 and
still mount it in the shed and feed antenna 6 mtrs away with coax and then
have the REMOTE HEAD control unit for the RT-11. for when i want to take it
mobile ??
or do i have to mount RT-11 right at base of antenna ?? in that case the
AT-11MP would be no good to me, I was looking at trying to be able to
uncouple 2 coax feeds and take tuner travelling or camping hence the shed
mount, I would appreciate any comments I spoke to Dwayne but we never got to
discussing the AT-11MP
Kind Regards
Sorry, Dennis. I misread or misunderstood the Subject. I have the RT-11 and don't know anything
about the AT-11MP. I have considered mounting the RT-11 outside and controlling it remotely.
Should avoid a little bit of loss in the co-ax on some bands, but I would probably need to use some
form of Balun or RF Choke. Also I might run into untunable impedances on one or more bands closer
to the antenna. Who knows without measurement? Good Luck and 73. -ken-
