Default Question on dipole SWR problem

You're right on the current in the shield. We have a choke balun,
currently located 85' down the coax toward the transmitter. I have
it scheduled, when it stops raining, to move it up to the input of
the SG- 237 coupler unit.


This has got to be a step in the right direction.

I think I misunderstood by what you meant by INPUT. The choke goes
between the antenna and the tuner. Generally at the antenna feed
point.

Tam,

Can you explain the difference between putting the choke adjacent to and
on either side of the tuner?
