Unless he's done that he has no basis to begin tuning his antenna, or to make a judgement with regard to any factor about its operation or lack thereof. 73 Roy WA4DOU >> Roy is right on the money. I have had a 180A, 180S, and now 180C. They work! If you can't find a resonance somewhere near design there has to be a mechanical mistake. I will say that when you add the switch box to any of these, it changes things "down" quite a bit and it is necessary to move the jumpers out. This is a pain in that they are often not reachable. Tip #1--start further out than the manual says when you have a switch box, and tip #2 (as most already know) orient the antenna in line with the BOOM of other near by antennas. 73 John N0IJ -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
