Re: Antenna matching, even the "experts" get it wrong.
Okay Mr Albert Tatlock impersonator, maybe you found a gaffe. Can you give us an overall review of this book? Anything of real interest in there? Often the chapter outline is fair game, but too much

Re: Antenna matching, even the "experts" get it wrong.
No it doesn't. It clearly states that the main function of on ATU is harmonic reduction, which is total cobblers ;-) I've just checked, first published in 1991, and mine is the 3rd edition 2004 making

Re: EFHW from ARRL
Amen Paul! I'm baffled at the cult like following the EFHW has. Put up a balanced dipole on the frequency you want to operate on. A 40 meter dipole is only 34 feet on each side of the balun/center

Re: Antenna matching, even the "experts" get it wrong.
There was a time when the ability of an antenna tuner to reject harmonics was important to many hams. The spectral purity requirements for ham rigs used to be far more lenient; for quite a while only

Re: Antenna matching, even the "experts" get it wrong.
I'd give it that statement a pass because it says harmonic reduction is only one of the roles of an ATU. I'll bolster the argument by presuming the statement was found in, and not updated from, an

Secrets of design. Wow that's a bizarre title from a major publisher. What year was this written? Well had it been phrased as transmitter matching, natural device behavior is to generate harmonics. So

Although I prefer L networks in nearly all antenna matching cases, they can¡¯t be used to independently adjust phase through the network while performing an impedance transformation. The T tuner

Re: QDX PA: Bias Mod and More
Hi Evan You are kind of correct... but the MOSFET isn't a perfect switch and this spoils the situation. If you want it to be a perfect switch then you have to keep the gate voltage AWAY from the gate
