Default Antenna Trim?

Whilst a common feature of the communications receiver in the past,
the antenna trim control no longer appears.

Would this be because modern gear expects a 50 ohm pre-matched feed
whilst in former times a long wire might come directly to the antenna
socket?

"Antenna trim" was usually simply a variable shunt capacitor to
chassis/earth, and only served to attempt to tune out any inherent antenna
inductive reactance (or maybe to provide a bit of independent fine tuning
of the input of the RF stage). It was usually associated with a receiver
high(ish) impedance antenna input. When the input impedance is low, an
antenna trim capacitor will have very little effect.


True, but as a trimmer across the RF stage tuning capacitor?
