Bob, and the gang,

I added a random length of LMR400 coax between the output of the coupler and 
the 1:1 balun.

I’am guessing I’m tuning the coax and not so much coupling energy into the 
doublet. But now, the palstar and the Ten Tec 238 can find a tuning solution at 
1.8000 mhz. Without the extra length coax length, neither one would. I have not 
tried other frequencies yet on either coupler.

Remember, I changed the length of the coax from the back of the tuner to the 1: 
1 balun. NOT the length of the 600 ohm feed line
