I have no idea. Especially since this is the first one I've ever seen. Did your talk/receive ok?
Or, do you remember, hahaha?
Ya know, being that long ago.
I have never adjusted for impedance as I've never owned a analyzer. But, I have had some very good talking radio/antenna setups without that so, I hope/guess, I done something right.
Took my Predator 10K off today to try a new Francis
5.5 ft antenna. They said "pre-tuned", in the ad when I bought it. I mounted it top dead center of my extended cab truck and Wal Ah! Was a 1.1 on channel 1 and a 1.4 on 40. 1.25 on 20. That's pretty close to tuned.

Well, I won't be buying another radio for quite some time now. I needed tires so, they came first. I had to order them this morning and they AIN'T CHEAP!
