Bob, John, and the gang,
I agree.
Why the palstar can’t match at 1.825 and the Ten Tec 253 can, yet the palstar
can easily match the doublet at 10.120 and the 253 can’t
still remains a mystery to me.
I did notice that when I added the extra feed line and extended the antenna
length, the palstar previous setting are now way different. I don’t know how
the roller inductor is calibrated i.e., does 200 mean more L or 200 Less ? I
don’t know.
Without the wire extensions, 40 and 30 meters came in with a L of 79 to 83, but
now, they are 170 to 190.
I have a half-dozen antenna couplers, all from Ten Tec and will swap in a few
to see what happens.
The quest continues….
