As, I have said, the terms you think and communicate in are in error. Because of preconceived notions you have formed, everything you hear just brings you back to your previous errors. Arguing though all that mess would only lead you further astray ... a matchbox will do NOTHING to improve a poor antenna, whether you are transmitting on that poor antenna or receiving on that poor antenna ... once you realize that single point, progress forward will be possible, end-of-story. The world is full of "testimonials for a particular antenna(s)", many of those testimonials are worth less than the paper they are written on. Combine that with unscrupulous claims, "facts", figures and charts which has been hoisted on an ignorant public (most famous might be the past practices of CB antenna manufacturers/suppliers, although you can find it in other radio venues also) and it is easy to see why so much confusion exists. One thing a matchbox is excellent at, getting the maximum amount of power transferred to a poor antenna--where it will promptly be lost in heat ... both, in the matchbox and in the feed-line/antenna-components. Regards, JS JS - OK to use your 'words' This here MatchBox thingee "is excellent at, getting the maximum amount of power transferred to a poor antenna" CONDITION # 1 'Before' the MatchBox thingee : Less Power Going to the Antenna; which is Wasted as Heat; with no MatchBox Loses. -or- Just may be less Power being Effectively Radiated by the Antenna JS -what-about- The 'Before' Condition of the Transmitter with a Poor Antenna and NO MatchBox is IT's Power Output "Optimum" {Full Power} or may be 'sub-optimum' some reduced power level due to the Poor Antenna ? Wouldn't the "maximum amount of power" = Full Power ? And some thing less be a reduced power level ? System : Transceiver Coax Cable Antenna "" Power Out and Reflected Power CONDITION # 2 'After' the MatchBox thingee : More Power Going to the Antenna; which is also Wasted as Heat; with MatchBox Loses. -or- Just may be More Power being Effectively Radiated by the Antenna. JS -what-about- The 'After' Condition of the Transmitter with a Poor Antenna and using a MatchBox is IT's Power Output now at "Optimum" {Full Power} with the MatchBox and the Poor Antenna ? Wouldn't the "maximum amount of power" = Full Power ? System : Transceiver Coax Cable MatchBox Antenna "" Power Out JS -obtw- What's with these references to CB Radio ? is the nature of electricity and radio frequencies and the laws of physics different for amateur and cb radio two-way communications ? ? ? ~ RHF |
