Ok, my final conclusion (i promise)....
Manually adjusting the L and C values of the ATU DOES have an effect
on BCB reception (had my RF gain turned down before, so seemed like
there was no difference). Maximum L (17.35 pH) gives maximum received
signal strength on a short antenna, as expected.
However, you can't adjust CA and CT independently. And checking all of
my pretuned bands the values for CA and CT on any given band are
equivalent (which seems odd). Furthermore, merely selecting between CA
and CT with the ANT button while in LCSet mode has an effect on the
received signal-- a couple of s-units difference between the two is
what I noticed. (But I don't think it is the antenna relay being
switched, as mentioned before.)
What I want to know is, are the displayed values for CA and CT
correct, and can they be adjusted independently of each other?
BTW, I am using F/W ver 2.13.
Thanks,
73,
