(with a C31 and Mag340N between it and the tower top so -no tinkering once it is up. We have pulled it up to 60' for tuning--only philly guys close and it is pulled out 3-4 feet from tower. Tuning jumpers set per F12 to 27" we have moved these as much as 5 inches without solving the problem. The manual says that there is one 4 turn (relay one) and one 9 turn (relay two) BUT my box has one 6 turn and one 10 turn ???? Relays are checked and switching properly. The antenna tuned perfectly out of the box WITHOUT the relay box With the box it seems to be ok or at least close in the CW only portion of the band The problem occurs when switching in relay two to access the phone portions of the band. The frequencies are consistently 40-60 Khz or so too high. When it should switch to 3790 it will be 3840, when it should be 3830 it will be 3890. These are close approximations but the pattern is clear. Cw close----phone +40-60Khz After many tries the last chart at dark last night was Both realys should be 3830 was 3898 relay 2 should be 3790 3844 No relays " 3510 3516 realy 1 " 3550 3565 The book says that frequencies are individually adjustable but there are no instructions at all as to what is what or what to expect. We did move the jumpers out, open up the 10 turn coil and juggle with those back and forth, each time raising and lowering but no cure. I mailed both Natan and Tom but it is early and have not heard back. Any help, ideas or suggestions are very much appreciated.

My tower project is progressing to the stage where I'm ordering the mast this week. The guestion here is this: I'm putting an XR5 up and I am also considering getting EF-606 to put up as well. So assuming I have 10ft of useable mast length to work with how much seperation do I need between the antennas?? Has anybody got any feedback on what, if any, interaction they have had with an antenna setup similiar to this?? Help and advice would be most appreciated as this is my first tower setup.
