[TenTec] Pegasus, LDG Tuner & SWL

[RON ZOND]

Ben and group

I toutinely use the SG 239 to peak a signal outside the ham bands. If I want
to listen to
the BBC on 15.190 MHz, I tune the wire at the high end of 20 meters. It
works fairly well.

A tuner can be used to peak signal and noise by using the controls on the
tuner. Something called a Tuner tuner by palomar comes to memoryas well.
There are a number of common sense ways to peak your antenna's efficiency
while listening outside of the ham bands. Since you arent transmitting
there, no need to have any exacting SWR, just ballpark the signal/noise
peak. Can't that be done with an automatic tuner?
