Thanks to everyone for the advice on my question. Had several responses
both for and against using the old style beta match. I think Joe, W4TV gave
the most concise answer: "Only reason for the new style beta match with
adjustable short is to allow use of the same antenna as a 174CA."
Yep, it is right there in the manual on page 11, a different dimension
for
the 17 meter conversion. Since I was only interested in 20, I used the old,
fixed design (yes, it was the right length for the 204) and it played like
a champ. Thanks again to all who responded.
73,
Mark, K5ER
