![]() "S C" wrote in message ... I would be grateful if anyone could suggest or provide me with a circuit diagram for a Homebrew ATU with SWR meter or circuit diagrans for these seperately. The simplest ATU is an L-match. Comprises a coil and a capacitor. Explain that it is useful for matching high-impedence end fed wires approx half wavelength long to 50 ohm and you should pass. On the SWR meter, the cheapest way you can build something that does a similar job is to build a resistive bridge (check if this is acceptable first). This requires a meter movement a diode or two and a handful of resistors and capacitors. There is no coil winding or toroids. The big benefit of this is that you can tune up without putting a signal to air as you would with an SWR bridge. They are also excellent for low power transmitters as they are more sensitive than many SWR meters (particularly on the lower HF range). 73, Peter VK3YE |
