Bob,
Is that a Ten Tec 238 series tuner with a built in 4:1 balun?

Balanced feed systems are really quite easy to install and use and are

you've been told by others about balanced feed systems. From my
experience, what I've been told by others is largely at least 90% wrong.
The other 10% is questionable. I run a balanced feed from the top of the
tower, down the tower on suitable stand-offs, through the eve vent,
across the attic, and it drops down through the ceiling to the tuner.
Nope, no coax or balun to get to the outside either. That defeats the
general purpose. Yes the procedure in the manual works well. Start with
the lowest frequency bands first, make a chart and move to the higher
frequency bands. As one gets to the higher frequencies, the tuning
controls are more critical but the actual tuning range is much wider
than many other types of tuners. 73 Bob, K4TAX
