Dave,

I appreciate the input. I started with a convential swr bridge and that's 
what led me to look at the thing with the analyzer.

However, it seems that I was leading myself astray last night. NR4M just 
called and said that while I had the right antenna connected to the bulkhead 
coming into the shack, and I had it routed to a two position switch at the 
operating position, I apparently selected the 80M 4sq rather than the T last 
night. NR4M just called and let me know. SWR is about 1.7:1 so we'll add a 
little more wire to the T and we should be to go! The 80M 4sq appears to be 
a pretty good 160 receive antenna!
