Use the attached Excel spreadsheet to calculate what lengths to avoid when puting up a long wire. This spread sheet was made by W4TME for the Icom AH-4 tuner. Antenna theory is Antenna Theory so this will work for any antenna tuner. Just read the directions and DO NOT USE THE LENGHTS LISTED IN GREY WHITE AND RED THOSE ARE THE AVOIDED LENGTHS, USE THE "WIRE WINDOWS" ON THE CHART!

Any particular reason why my post was deleted?

I was NOT asking for a pirated copy of Excel. I was asking for someone to save the xls file in Microsoft Works Spreadsheet format, and re-post it. Works *should* be able to open it already, I have done it with other xls files, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
 
As far as I know your post was not deleted? The forum did suffer an attack yesterday which caused threads to be deleted because we had to restart from a back up from a few days ago.

As for the word document, if converted it will not work properly because this excel spread sheet allows user input for a specific frequency then calculates what lengths to avoid.

You can download the Free Microsoft Excel Viewer which will Open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed.

Let me know if that helps?

You could, but...

Open Office does everything Micro$oft office does, for free. And not one penny of that free goes to Bill Gates.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
