I was told that it is OK for a few years. We were given some white and some orange cable and the budget required that we use it or have fewer antennas. We did have some RG8/U and where possible ran

Depends on the frequency of operation ... :-) Sorry, it was just too juicy of an opportunity to hop down yet another rabbit trail! At HF frequencies one is unlikely to be able to even measure the pr
I have a Johnson Matchbox antenna tuner. It is the 250-2? model. 80-10M 10x7x10" Very good condition. I need a tuner that can handle 160-10M. 160-6M would be even better! Homebrew is fine, MFJ is not

I have been asked if the pair of Johnson 229-203 28 uH roller inductors I have posted for sale would handle an antenna tuner at 1000 watts AM from a BTA-1R2. It is my belief that except for an absurd
One can toast just about any tuner if one exposes it to radical extremes. To narrow the question: Within the range of reasonable SWR's in a properly constructed balanced balanced tuner is not the Jo
