- Greetings group, Question please: When tuning with a dummy load (50 ohm), I get a good swr reading. Switch back to longwire antenna and BOY is it way OFF. Trying this on novice / tech + portion of 40

- Hi Gordon, Sounds like your long wire antenna is not resonant on the frequency you'd like to be working. A dummy load is pure 50 ohm resistive so will give you a 1 to 1 SWR every time. Switching to y

- You have to tune the TUNER into the antenna, not the dummy load. The dummy load is useful for tuning the radio (when tuned) and the linear (when tuned). The best way to tune the tuner without transmi

- Tuning up on a dummy load is good practice for a tube rig that needs "tuning up". For a broadband rig like the Omni's, to tune a long wire antenna, tuning on the dummy will always produce an out-of-t
