Subject: [TenTec] AT-11MP
It seems there a lot of AT-11MP users here on this reflector. And everyone
who replied had good things to say. Perhaps TenTec is missing some sales by
not promoting it more? I didn't know they were selling this equipment until
I saw it on there Used / Demo list.
I haven't received it yet, just ordered it a a day ago but I do have a
question to post. My antenna is an 80MT horizontal loop which I use
primarily on 3.818 where I record the group there (6 to 8 AM EST) and play
it back when I commute to and from work. The AT-11MP should allow me (and
my Scout) to more easily use this antenna on other bands. My main concern
is that the SWR between the tuner and the antenna (60 or so feet of coax)
will be high on many bands and the losses will be significant. I am
considering mounting it at the antenna feed point and wonder if any one has
done this? Also, any ideas for a better antenna that works best with the
AT-11MP? Perhaps I could open the 80 MT loop at some carefully selected
point to enable better operation? Any ideas?
