I had a book that said 468 divided by frequency for wires only, and 455 divided by frequency for tubing.I always added 6% to the 468 for wires and started trimming 3 inches off each end. Never had to

I dunno, some of us still use manual tuners. I like to have a bunch of antennas that each exhibit low SWR in my favorite parts of the bands on a switch. I'm an incurable band hopper when I'm operatin

No no, these days there are even auto tuners. People never have to use the brain. Just string any old piece of wire out and of you go. Ooooh, I forget, you get someone to do it for you. Sorry I could

As I understand it that just makes the radio happy. What is the ERP delta between a resonate antenna and a non-resonant tuner-tuned antenna? How much signal is lost on the feedline? --sas -- -- N9LJX

Essentially identical. Depends on the loss of your feedline. It's a dipole, so clearly you aren't obsessing about eking out the last tenth of a dB of gain. Say you're pretty far off 50+50j instead of

Additional loss occurs in the tuner which may be greater than xmsn line loss. QST has had measured losses for various commercial tuners as the subject of 1 or more articles. The losses on low bands a

I think the implicit assumption throughout this thread is that you're comparing a coax fed dipole that you trimmed to be resonant at 3850kHz with a coax fed dipole that you just put up after cutting

Yes, I was assuming that the resonant and non-resonant antennas were "about" the same length and installed in "about" the same place. ERP (but not EIRP) would be the same (except for copper losses in

Which is why it's worth playing with something like XLZIZL.. (which calculates tuner loss) I also note that the QST reviews don't test into a mismatched *reactive* load, which, after all, is MUCH mor
