Hi All,

I have just built a 20m dipole as a temp antenna for home.
I will be driving it with a TS-830 transceiver, which uses valves in the
final stage.
I know that I can only use it close to the cut frequency, but want to
build
a small tuner to allow me to go off the cut slightly.
I only want the tuner to be used on 20m, so I do not need any coil tapings
for switching bands, so maybe a couple of caps will do the job.

Look forward to any replies.

Regards

Hi Kevin,
The 830 already has a tuner built into it- the Pi network output circuit.
When you go through the tune/load procedure you are marching the 830's
output to the load. To put another tuner on the output would be redundant.
