I made a balun for this antenna according to the manufactures instructions and I still have high swr. HELP. I do get good signal reports though. The ladder line is only verticle for almost 12ft and then drapes off the roof. Best way it could be installed right now. Using a kenwood ts440s with auto tuner. No luck on ten meter yet!!! I have found that only a couple of bands can be tuned with the built-in tuner. For the rest you will need an external tuner that can handle SWR's greater than 3:1. With the current sunspot cycle, you would be lucky to make a ten-meter contact (other than locals) with a 6-element beam, let alone a G5RV. Dick - W6CCD ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
