Phil,
You might want to try adding or subtracting some feedline - that is sure
to make some feedpoint impedance change. OTOH, if you now have a
working system, why change? If there is some added value to using the
KAT500 over what you have installed and working, then fine, look at how
to best integrate the KAT500 - but if what you have works to your
satisfaction, then why change.
Don't monkey with what works.
73,

So, the KAT500 is not on my to-buy list until I get this antenna fixed to match better. I have a lot of ideas but I am waiting for warmer and dryer weather -- good because the KAT500 should be well tested by the field by then.
