Re: [TenTec] T tuner (transmatch) losses?

Jerry,
Very useful and insightful comments on baluns, tuners and feeding balanced
antennas!

My recent field day experiment with external vs. internal balun was only a
surprise in that no heating had been noted on the internal balun, and yet;
the external was capable of a better match.  It was a larger core, and
overall beefier than the typical built in ring core.
I think this showed that the external was a better transmission line balun
than the factory tuner balun.

Good point about matching but not delivering power to the antenna.
