Which would work better ??
 

A LDG RT-11 feeding a ground mounted Butternut HF2V with TBR 160Mtr loading
kit at the base, ( resonant on 3 freqs, 1.8mhz/3.65 mhz/7.1mhz)
to get freqs above 7.100
OR a RT-11 base mounted feeding a CushCraft R8 to get Freqs 3.65mhz/ 1.8mhz
???
as i have both antennas here i wish to dispose of one, I would appreciate
any comments from hams that have used the LDG range of tuners

Kind Regards

hello
i have used the RT11 with an Attron99 11 meter base antenna used on the
ham bands and that tuner will tune that atenna on 10 12 15 17 20 with a
great signal it will also tune 30 40 but its basically a dummy load
so i think the tuner will handle which ever antenna you stick on it so
select the one you like the best and go for it
good luck

Tnxs Dennis needed to ask a Butcher not a Block, ok well I would like to
keep the R8 as it has all the higher bands, but if i need to go to 5mhz or
3.7 would be handy to know the tuners limitations

Thankyou

Somehow, I'm guessing you'll have a lot better luck with an antenna
that's properly set up for the low bands, with the tuner bringing in
the high bands, than trying the inverse, where the tuner would be
trying to replace the big loading coils & radials for the low bands.
Might burn out the tuner.
