GAP Titan DX
 

Hi,

Have installad second hand gap titan DX.
Have problems to tune the antenna. If the antenna works fine voor 20 it
doesn't work for 15

I have no dip at all on 40m.

The dip voor 20 is rather high in (out) the band 14600

Anyone info/tips/suggestions?

thanks, ON7RU

Hi Franky,

Is it ground mounted, or elevated?

Hi Lamont,

Have the manual, but the faq sections is rather limited and doesn't
contain any tuning instructions.


thanks

Hi Richard,

It's ground mounted today. Do you think the swr pattern will change if I
put it 8 feet off the ground?


thanks for your advice

"The Titan is a respectable 25' tall and weighs a solid 25 pounds. The Titan
is configured to mount easily on a 11/4" O.D. mast. This mast can be a
length of your choosing and since the feedpoint is elevated this mast can be
as short as a foot."
