No tuner needed, and a dipole pattern for each band there is a dipole for. Looking at that pix, they are using the "hard" to tune design. The elements are close stacked, and this makes coupling a problem. It would be much better to spread the dipoles out in different directions, IE: N/S, E/W, etc, to keep them spread apart. Always start with the lowest band and work up. If each dipole is not resonant, how will you keep your radio from shutting down? Use a tuner? That defeats the whole purpose, and the low loss of of resonant dipoles, fed with coax. MK |
