I would like to find schematics for this kind of tuning kit


Not a kit in the normal sense. A kit either includes instructions -
and that normally means there is a schematic - or is so carefully
targeted - capacitor kit for an R4A - as to not need any.

These kits provide the parts, sometimes no builing plans included. I know more or less how to make, but don't really know why resistors
needed ... (or a print, in general ... if there are no transistors to amplify ...)


Is there an SWR bridge or other monitoring capability? That might need
resistors.



Thanks

www.mfjenterprises.com (Antenna Tuners) Be sure to tighten the nuts and bolts and screws. Because I think MFJ have a 'brew' once in a while when they are working.


Most passive filters/tuners can be used a number of ways. Try it and see
what happens. A long wire might want to see a shunt capacitor input,
might need a series capacitor or a coil. Series capacitors make antennas
act shorter series coils make them behave longer. Shunts tend to do the
opposite. Experiment.
