Antenna Tuners what they are for and what they do not do

A lot of us need to be reminded of this. Thanks!

I've had the D version of the turner in your thumbnail for 32 years. 'Tis a good tuner.

Based on my personal experience, I have found that the Non Resonant Doublet paired with a balance tuner stands out as the optimal multiband wire antenna system. This particular antenna proves to be highly efficient from both the transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) standpoint. Not being resonant on any specific band, its performance relies solely on a capable tuner, particularly one that offers a balanced configuration. Furthermore, this antenna showcases low noise characteristics, further augmenting its overall functionality and effectiveness.

Very true. Best to avoid needing one.

Gilles your ve2zzi Amateur radio channel is awesome my friend 😅😅😅😊

So it is better to invest in a better Antenna rather than a better radio/tuner

[@VE2ZZI]

It is best to have a great antenna from the start, that is a much better option
