[Antennas] Plotter Package Available for SmartSmith

[Adam Farson]

Hi Dave,

The AH-4 should tune a 50 to 75 ohm resistive load. How do you intend
feeding the antenna from the tuner?  The AH-4 will not match a half-wave
monopole (e.g. a half-wave wire) worked against ground.

You can download the manual here:

Cheers for now, 73,

OK,...

I cannot find my Icom AH-4 tuner manual, and I don't know if it can do what
I want....

Can I safely use my AH-4 to drive a resonant 80 Meter antenna as if it were
a whip? 
(I remember, it is designed for a whip or a wire)

I think maybe sparks would fly in the tuner... any other opinions??
