SGC recommends that no transmission line be used between the tuner and the antenna because of arcing. Consider that to force just one watt into a CB whip on 4 MHz, EZNEC says it takes over 1700 volts. Interesting. Thanks. I am still testing. I tested with coax and the result is that the antennas designed for a given frequency work much better on their frequencies. I am looking for my soldering kit now for the connectors. I may try a direct connection to see what happens without coax if I can. back in a few. n4pgw -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |
