[ICOM] G5RV & AT-500

[Alan Leith]

I had forgotten that I'd wired the AT-500 for my tribander and for 80 
and 40M inverted vees.  All I had to do was to connect all the tuner 
wires to the same place and now the antenna tunes properly on 80, 40, 
30, 20, 17 and 12M.  The problem (not really, because I have the 
tribander) is that I can get a good low SWR reading on 12 and 17 but 
not on 10 or 15, or vice versa.  Right now, 10 and 15 are of no 
consequence to me anyway.
