Actually your answer is also incorrect, Randy. (but correct for the tuner I showed the link to) The tuner I showed the link to is a different one than the one I was referring to. My mistake. Quote fr

It's not mistakenly called an antenna tuner. It's called an antenna tuner because it tunes the antenna. It even tunes antennas for people who do not believe it is doing so. Mike NM7X ________________

Sorry, but that's misleading. An ATU when installed between your rig and your coax does not have a way to selectively tune just the antenna. It simply provides an impedance match from the rig to the

It's not misleading in any way. There was no qualifier about whether the tuning was being selectively applied to just the antenna. It will tune the antenna at either side of the transmission line. Th

actually you are both right, and wrong. According to Kurt Sterba, , it does tune the ANTENNA SYSTEM by matching the antenna to the radio. so no, it does not tune the antenna, but yes it tunes the ant

Well, I would not call it an antenna tuner. It does not affect the electrical properties of the antenna itself. The antenna's physical properties do not change either. So, if at the operating frequen

Well no, you still will not alter the antenna. Its still the wrong length or whatever it was in the first place. You just transform the impedance out at the antenna, before the feedline, rather than

Guys, this may be a stupid question, but if you use two parallel pieces of (long) coax, wouldn't you have twice the loss. On the other hand, resistors in parallel would mean half the loss. In any cas

If you use the coax as coax, all the fields are within the coax so relative spacing between them doesn't matter. I tied the shields together on both ends of the run so the signal will divide properly
