Understood. You were clear enough to get
the correct point across. ;-)
I only mentioned the tuner because it is in
line, and I thought I should give all the facts
about the situation when posing the question,
but it is bypassed in this case because it seems
to be a well behaved ground plane antenna.
I just don't get why the rig sees a higher SWR
with the amp on than with it off - AND whereas
that does not happen if I proportionally size the
antenna for other bands. On those other bands,
say 15m and 10m, the rig sees the same SWR with
the amp on or off - it does not matter.
As the King said... "Its a puzzlement."
THANKS FOR THE INPUT !
