Hi, Folks. I have a TS480SAT which has a built-in auto tuner. Had
one of my ham buddies come over and test the setup he and his buddies
put up, an UltraLight Junior dipole strung between two trees and my
house. We noticed that on 3.550MHZ, we were getting 4-1 SWr, egen
though the antenna can go down that far - 80-10 meters. Above
3.8MHZ, the antenna tunes up.
My question is: if I buy an external auto tuner, will I have more
flexibility in getting a match. Are the the built-in tuners mor
limited than the external ones? And what accessible tuner would you
recommend if there is a difference?Thanks in advance.--Matt, N1IBB.
