[Elecraft] OT: K3 and Johnson Matchbox

[Richard Fjeld]

Great group!  I'd like the readers of this reflector to know that I received several replies to my post, with 12 pictures, and most impressive; three others volunteered to remove the case from their tuners to photograph the coils for me. That is a tedious job.
 
 K3KO suggested that some people would move a tap for the 30 meter band and I could test for it without removing the case.  Per his suggestion, I had a 200 ohm 10 watt resistor and tied it across the output of the tuner and tested the 40 and 20 meter band for matching to a 1:1.  It was fine.  
My first Matchbox (years ago) matched open wire like a slam dunk. This one is different, but so is the antenna. So, I needed to verify. 
 
Thanks to all,

Dick, n0ce
