I am thinking of purchasing the internal tuner for the Orion II and am looking for comments on how well it works.   It would primarily be used to match the wire antennas when tuning from cw to phone

See my recent posting and results and tests pertaining to the Eagle and the Omni VII with the respective internal ATU. As long as the wire antenna is at least resonant in the band and with some reaso

Steve, A quarter wavelength long piece of wire has about 50 Ohms. A half wavelength long piece of wire has about 2500 Ohms. An 80m dipole has about 50 Ohms on 80m. If you try to use it on 40m, it has

I don't use a long wire antenna, but I've found that the internal tuner can match most of what's presented to it. It's not a panacea nor is it a Johnson Matchbox, but it does pretty well. 73, N5OP "P

I have the internal tuner on my Omni VII... and if it is any clue as to how it works on the Orion II, then you should be happy with it for the task you describe. It is rated at managing a 10:1 mismat

Rick is correct! Many years ago (some 40+) and as a young ham I built a nice home brew antenna tuner. Afterwards I connected my coaxial fed 1/2 wave 80 meter inverted vee antenna to the tuner. Low an

I interpreted the question in the OP as having to do with how the tuner would perform when using it to facilitate operation on the CW and SSB ends of a band, when the antenna was tuned to one end or

This is where the real beauty of Open-Wire feed line comes into play ... With open-wire feed-line you can have avery high SWR on the open wire feed line but the feed line losses will still be very l

Oh, geez......don't get me started on the virtues of open wire and balanced feed lines. I've used them very successfully for 50+ years. And don't get me started on tuners with baluns on the output to

If Rick doessn't do it, I will. It is easy to make inexpensive open wire lines with 1/2" flexible PVC (about $20 for 100 ft. at Home Depot) for the spacers that it or window line should be on any ant
