Sorry, but you didn't address anything. All your previous responses follow.

Move your antenna inside to a room that has less metal nearby (away from railing and major building components) and confirm you "can" adjust for low SWR at your problem frequencies. #3 - This is like charging the battery to fix a flat tire. #4 - ut that is NOT what he is trying to do. He simply wants it to work "as advertised." Everyone is re-inventing it to do what it was already designed to do. It already resonates at these frequencies, to add capacitance is very poor advice for any of several reasons. What John needs is to determine if it is broke, or if it is environment that is getting in the way. He is not asking for the antenna to tune outside of its characteristic range. The advice in the handbook suggests he open up the case and squash the feed loop to compensate for nearby interfering, metallic structures. This may solve the problem, but it is a ****-poor solution. If it were a general, preferrable condition, they would sell them all this way. -------------------------------------- Sorry but none of this seems to be advice that would help him. You didn't address anything. All you seem to be able to do is criticize other's suggestions and offer nothing yourself. I hope to actually see you try to help someone sometime. At least I am trying. 73 tom K0TAR Richard Clark wrote: On Sat, 10 Jul 2004 18:30:40 -0500, Tom Ring wrote: Well, how would you suggest he troubleshoot it? Hi Tom, I've already addressed that, as has the manufacturer. |
