1. [TenTec] Jupiter Autotuner upgrade? (score: 1): Author: John <jh.graves@verizon.net>; Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:26:42 -0500; I am considering adding the autotuner to my Jupiter. My normal antenna for now is a G5RV with plans for getting my R-7 Vertical back on the air ASAP.

(score: 1): Author: Clayton Brantley <clayton_n4ev@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 05:57:16 -0800 (PST); In going back to the broadcast days, we always put the tuner AT the antenna and had a "flat" line for the antenna to the transmitter. Works better than a line full of VSWR in the shack. In my view,; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-11/msg00421.html (9,511 bytes)
