[TowerTalk] ATAS-100 as base antenna...

[Norman Hockler]

You do not need a tuner with the ATAS-100 antenna....A tuner matches the 
radio to a non resonant antenna....with the ATAS-100 you make the antenna 
resonant to the frequency you have the radio tuned to.  The antenna should 
work fine as a base if you provide a decent ground.  de Norm N8NH
