    Jumper length.

    Jim, antennas can be a pain in the @$$ for sure. But honestly, this is how you learn, OM! You will always have a different SWR readings in the shack if you do not isolate the antenna from the feedline. Remembering you are testing, a choke made from RG-58 or RG-213 would help you. (Just as...

    Hi Jim, you've go a good team on this forum! Interesting topic. After 40 years in radio, I'm still learning too! To expand on one topic, use of chokes. I always use a 1:1 baluns (or choke) at the feed point to my antennas. In fact, I also use current baluns on my radio, to reduce noise. They...

    What Signal Generator do you use?

    I have used another "Ebay" signal gen from CN in the past, similar to this one. The only problem I found with it is it will not modulate a signal on CH1 (AM or FM) with the generator on Ch2 or an external audio input. For a function generator or signal generator it works fine for $100
