... would ... Hi David. First. The loop I have in the ceiling of the shack is a series of side by side turns - just like a conventional coil [only 6ft by 4ft...
Graham, While I wouldn't recommend using a MAC-200 for a loop (the 237 and 239 are better solutions), because of the potential for interference in your shack, ...
Okeydokey. The shack is on the first floor [uk speak]. The loop will be about 22 feet above ground. And between 9 and 10 feet per side in a horizontal square. ...
Hi Steve, I have my SG-239 mounted on the bench a few feet from where my open wire line enters the basement radio room. I use balanced line to tune a 160 meter...
I've noticed that when I start to move off the tuned freq., and the SWR starts to increase, that the MAC-200 will not retune. The SWR has gotten as much as...
John, You should be able to force a retune by hitting the reset button ... Let me point out that the meter is at best a rough indicator of SWR and is NOT...

Ok well understood. I agree that using the twin lead is best if you need feedline and install coupler away from the antennas feedpoint. Nevertheless you must...

A number of possibilities exist, but here's the easiest to find and use: Extension Cable: Any 16/4 thermostat cable or underground sprinkler cable should...
Maybe not having the control cable is best to eliminate RFI feeding back into the SGC. I just put a switch on the DC feed inside the MH to the tuner DEC to...
