[TenTec] ant

[JAMES HANLON]

Ed,

Look for a Johnson Matchbox if you want something to tune up an antenna fed with open wire line.  They were made in 150 watt and 1 KW versions and some had a built-in SWR bridge on the transmitter side.

  I need the definition and model number of a "good tuner".Hopefully, something without a balun. Maybe somethingalong the lines of the K1JJ homebrew tuner also??
  tnx, Ed

  And 6m and 2m quite well. And probably 160 with a good tuner.
