Hi group question.. I have a tram 1411 it has 2 tunable ground radials
. I know normally you would tune both the same I was curious if I can tune 1 to lower frequency range and the other to a high frequency range.. Im running a yeasu FT-1000MP or a Ranger AR3500 on this antenna would it help widen my frequency range? Or should I try to tune more to a central area?

Thank You

What you're suggesting should work but - if you're using this antenna to transmit on ..... you could do a heckofalot better with practically anything else. Discones have NO Gain on any frequency and are mainly used as Receive-Only antennas like for scanners.

    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
