[ARC5] arc5 as antenna tuner

[Beckley, Stew]

Dale,
If you have a trashed ARC-5 or SCR-274N transmitter, you could make a =
simple L-net using the rotary inductor and one or both of the ganged =
caps. The rotary inductor is connected in series with the antenna line, =
and the cap(s) in // to ground. You may have to experiment with which =
end to connect the caps to. You'll need an SWR meter between the rig and =
the tuner.

I used this arrangement for many years when I was in the service and =
traveling alot. I used it to match a Galaxy V MkII with a 50-ohm output =
to a 135' Windom made out of WD-1 commo wire, nominally about 600-ohms. =
Two cautions: The 'dip' point with this setup is very sharp and will =
take awhile for you to find; and you will need a very good ground.
