[Elecraft] Remote Antenna Tuner

Sun Sep 7 16:43:00 2003

this discussion is handled extremely well in a book by M. Walter Maxwell,
w2du called reflections II and is available from world radio book store. He
makes the argument and does the math that the tuner does not need to be
remote.

Not even works better.

This is an old debate, long settled.  There are many web sites with
discussions, books, articles, etc -- some quite erudite.  Frankly I do
not have time nor energy to rehash it.   Perhaps someone else has the
motivation.  Or you can use antenna and transmission line analyses and
come to your own conclusions -- as I did once many years ago.

In fact the xyl wants me to get off the computer and go hiking NOW  :-)

73, Phil
