[TowerTalk] mismatch at feed, ok at transmiter

[Bill]

Gary
I have not tried to measure it and so far I have only anecdotal experience. 
It will take time to see the true difference.  Nevertheless the difference 
in a mid level signal is very noticeable aurally and weak signals that do 
not reach Q5 on the tribander are reaching very copyable levels on the 
monobander.
