SGC239 an Ground


 

Hi Tim
Can you tell me, how is ist with the ground?

Ist is usable to grounded the SG239 or is it enough to grounded with the
ft817?

73 HB9JBZ, Dan (excuse my english)

While at Dayton I could not find any vendor with a Z11 for sale(all sold
out by late Friday). However, one of the vendors tipped me on to the new
SGC
tuner(SGC239). Not wishing to leave empty handed I picked one up and since
yesterday was a holiday in Canada had a chance to "play" with it.

It seems to work surprisingly well. I used a 18' length of wire and a
counterpoise and was able to match all bands. It draws about 250ma on tune
so
will have to figure out some form of battery/power supply for travel. Not
a
bad option for an auto tuner.

Hi Dan,

every antenna coupler like the SGC 239 or others need the ground for proper
function.

Unless you are using it to feed a balanced antenna. I have a 239 in
my loft, feeding an approx. 16ft square horizontal loop in the middle
of one side. It is not connected to ground at all, and seems to work
fine.
