- Walt, I agree with Jim. The 238 will definitely match it, but the match point is probably very sharp and so far you have been tuning past it without noticing it. Here's what I suggest. Use an analyze

- While it has generally been my experience that antennas tend to tune more easily a bit above resonance than below, there is no good reason that a 229 or 238 should not match a dipole that resonates o

- At 3.5MHz, the SWR(50) of an 80m dipole cut for resonance at 3.8MHz could easily be 12:1 or higher. Depending on the length of the coax, that can present impedances at the tuner that will be well out

- You should be able to match it by adding additional capacitance to the rear of the 238. Like Jim, I always cut mine to about 3600 and have no trouble matching it across the upper portion of the band

- The problem is most acute when the length of the coax transforms the off-resonance feedpoint impedance to a low resistive value - for example around 6 Ohms for 45ft of Rg-8X; the tuner then doesn't h
