I have used OCF antennas in the past and currently have on up that is 
fed with 600 ohm line and a balun for the coax transition to come in the 
house. It is a fine all band - 160-10 - antenna causing no RF problems 
in my shack. Although I rarely use this antenna, I hooked it up today 
and find the KAT500 misbehaves with this antenna the same as it does 
with a proper dipole. No joy!

The OCF does, however, work well with my other auto-tune rigs. No 
hiccups noted.
