If you are trying to increase the bandwidth , I think that the cage is more
effective at the end of the conductor or the horizontal portion of your
inverted L. You really don't need a smart tuner for an inverted L. If you
are trying to increase gain, I am sure that you wont see any improvement
changing it to a cage.

At the risk of fire up the cage machine again one related question. What
will
changing the 55 foot vertical section of my inverted "L" to a 6 wire cage
from
a single wire do? It is 55 feet tall supported 4-5 feet from my tower. The
horizontal section is probably 70 feet long and slopes down to about 20
feet
and the antenna is tuned with an SGC 237 tuner at the feed point.
I guess my question really is if it would really help much for the work
involved.
