[TowerTalk] Fwd: Help needed, antenna SWR

[Hans Hammarquist]

If you are ainal about it you should go out to the antennas with a analyser and some inductors and capacitor plus something to make the connection of these components to the antennas, and spend some time (maybe days) to cut-and-try. I don't think you gain that much unless you are hunting those very-down-in-the-noise stations.


I don't know what cable you are using but I hope is some low loss type.

Count your blessings.
Chasing the elusive 1:1 with your set-up as described is  not necessary will make your hair turn grey or white and need a Common Mode Choke.
