That is good. I have the aa-30 rig expert.

Ok Thanks. That is the way it should be. I gotta go to work. will get back when time permits. Tony 73

No it does not. Maxwell states r He states with No matching that has the highest swr at RESONANCE. The key is resonance. When i tune for lowest swr you are right the swr is 1.2 R 48 - 50 ohms. But you also have lost effieciency because its not resonant for the frequency you are...

Yes maxwell has excellent information. 27) With center-loaded mobile whips of equal size having no matching arrangement at the input terminals, best radiating efficiency is obtained on models having the lowest measured terminal resistance (highest resonant SWR, model for model). Models having...

That is much better. Tony 73

Really........ This is a technical forum ? Get a life !!! Tony

No its the switching of the audio input to the ic.

I have the mod for the nasty pop in the speaker when keying up the transmitter on the older export radios. ss 3900 and older connex radios are bad about it. Tony

As mentioned earlier it is g3tso... sorry. You have a misquote. No where does his site advocate an auto antenna tuner ! Auto tuners work on SWR so are not very good at matching antennas ! Base loaded screwdriver antennas are very ineffiecient ! Quite right, but those with practical...

G3STO . Most amateurs have become used to tuning for a minimum indicated SWR. This is meaningless in a mobile installation. WHY? An efficient mobile whip is unlikely to be 50 ohms. An inefficient one may be! Minimum SWR is NOT an indication of maximum radiation; it simply means the tuning device...

g3sto homebrew mobile antennas. Google. K0bg site states the same. ..maybe you need to reread it.

Good looking setup on your truck. You missed the point just like i did for a long time. An effiecient mobile antenna will be between 18 and 36 ohms impedance at feedpoint. An ineffiecient mobile antenna may be 50 ohms at feedpoint. . Most amateurs have become used to tuning for a minimum...

You are welcome flatlander.

I have the ameritron awm -30 that http://www.w8ji.com/alc_exciter_power_overshoot.htm The above is why i purchased the awm -30

It is a 2.5.1 ratio of what the antenna is. Made by k4poz he has the pics on his site.http://k4poz.com/match/index.html

I have tried both . The back of the cabs are metal so it grounds better than the mirror arms . The most important issue is Tuning for resonance and not lowest SWR. By using a matching transformer at the antennas feedpoint. The tx and rx is much better. I have been in the cb hobby...
