What is the recommended method for tuning the elements on
an EF-240???
I noticed Steve mentioned tuning each one seperately. How is this
done, and what frequencies do you tune for?
I've got an EF-420/240 that I'm putting together now, and the only
tuning they mention in the manual is after the entire beam is together.
It seems to me to optimize performance, you would want to check
out each element seperately, and then peak it after the beam is
together.
I think the EF-240 is really just two EF-140 elements tuned for
different frequencies (I think the manual mentions 6.900 for the
reflector). So how is an EF-140 element matched to the coax, or
can I just hook directly onto the element to check out the tuning?
So whats the scoop? Whats the best way to tune this thing?
Thanks & 73's
