PAR END FEDS

[Chuck Pridgen]

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AND ANSWERS REGUARDING THE PAR END FEDS.

I WAS TOLD BY PAR TO NOT USE A TUNER,JUST TO TRIM THE EXCESS.

IF ANYONE HAS AN EXPERENCE USING A TUNER WITH ONE OF THE ENDFEDS,ID LIKE TO KNOW YOUR RESULTS.


THIS IS AT A 5 WATT LEVEL I WILL BE USING.

 HAS ANYONE TUNED ONE WITH A TUNER USING 100WATTS?

THANKS CHUCK PRIDGEN,N4UED

Chuck,

You don't say which model you have.  The QRP version
maybe???  If so, you don't want to try running 100 watts
through it!

In any event, you shouldn't need a tuner unless you are
trying to use the antenna on a band it's not designed for.
I suspect PAR's warning was perhaps because the matching
network may not be stout enough to withstand a really bad
mismatch while you are trying to tune it.  Perhaps you can
get away with it if you drop your power way down while
tuning, but I'd be wary of doing that.
