For the life of me I cannot attain an input match on this G-D D$%&^$
sb-200 at 6 meters. I have tried what I think is everything. Pi, L
types of networks. Wound various coils, tried diff cap. values.
Presently I have approx. 3 turns 18 ga on coil form (Ferrite core makes
SWR little worse, copper etc. no better) W/ variable ceramics in PI
net, 7-40pf. SWR at best is 4:1. Am using MFJ analyzer on input, relay
closed w/ match pack and antenna for load on output. (Which has better
than 2:1 match). I know I need a Q of 2, how in the world do I get this
match. Please steer me in the right direction. Have removed SWR bridge
coupling in amp and ran good RG8/x for all coax runs. Help, I'm abt to
go POSTAL.*

flying there flag at half staff??
