What effect does a tuner have at the antenna?

wrote: A popular myth is developing that the tuner has no effect at the antenna feedpoint and the only goal is to make the transmitter "happy". My question is: if we monitored only the forward current or forward power at the antenna feedpoint, could we still adjust the tuner? If the answer is "yes", the myth is false. Would it help to attach an antenna analyzer to the back side of a tuner, tune the antenna and see if it affects the analyzer? -- 73 for now Buck, N4PGW www.lumpuckeroo.com "Small - broadband - efficient: pick any two." |
