Hello John and Others.
While one can readily adapt one connector to another, i.e. s m a to
something else, the t h f 6 must be optimized for the small antenna supplied
with the tranceiver. Has anyone taken the trouble to look at the standing
wave that might result from a non-resonant external antenna, not tuned to
the output circuit of the transmitter? Although I would like to feed a j
poll or something else while camping, etc., I do not wish to do so if more
reflected than forward power results. Just how broad-band are the output
circuits of these hand helds anyway.
Jerry
