Right. It is. The auto tuner mentioned is
the Palstar AT-AUTO -- but I have it bypassed
as the antenna is a resonant ground plane.

The input impedance changes with drive, so I've been told. Therefore, I
allow the auto tuner to tune the antennas in bypass mode then ture off
the auto tuner when driving the Amp.I may be all wet, but it works for me
I get that, but in this case, I only mentioned the
auto tuner in order to give a complete picture
of my setup. I bypass the tuner with this
antenna all the time because it is a resonant
quarter wave ground plane.
Thanks for the uptake !
(I do think we are on the same page in any case.)
