Well, as u might remember, i could not load up my pro-am 10-meter whip on 10
meters with my FT-100D in my van. i had a 3.6:1 SWR no matter what i did to
the whip. i put a dummy load on the ft-100d and had a perfect SWR. this
led me to think the pro-am whip was defective. so i bought a 10-meter ham
stick and cut it for 29.62 fm. well, gang, still same bad SWR. finally i
gave up and put my MFJ Versa tuner II on the mobile ant. got the swr down
to near perfect. weird. i do not need the tuner with the 20-meter pro am
whip. it works nearly perfectly. any ideas why i need the tuner for both
10 meter whips and no tuner for the 20 meter whip???? i'd sure like to
know.
