I can't believe that anyone who calls himself would call the described antenna
a Zepp.
I guess that since dumbing down the tests we can all call ourselves engineers.
The Zepp antenna was an end fed antenna used on the Zepplin air ship. What
"channel" does
this engineer from Ten Tec operate on??? Enough Zepp bull!! 73, John, K5PGW

Just swapped the 4:1 balun out
replacing it with a 1:1 balun. I am now
back to using a 2 ft long jumper of RG-213 and the
auto-tuner combo
seems to work OK. Glad to see the longer section of coax
gone between
the balun and the tuner.
The tuner is inside the ammo can now, but it does not have a
proper EMI
gasket on the lid. But at HF freq's it probably does at
least a half ass
job of being a Faraday cage. When I ran into trouble it was
outside in
the elements.
The tuner still will not "tune" the doublet above 28.3 MHz
just as
stated in my original message. At least it works on the CW
band of 10M.
Once again, thank you for suggesting I try a 1:1 balun
instead.
