OK, So, has anyone measured how much attentuation is provided by the use of
a radios internal tuner or even an outboard "ultimate transmatch" designed
tuner?
I used to live about a mile from a 20m DXer. We could both operate on 20m
but I could get closer to his freq. when using the tuner as a narrow inband
narrow pass filter.
