[MRCA] Mil HF radios with ALE

[Alex J Rokowetz]

Rob,
My Datron TW7000F (Flyaway) equipped with ALE works fine business with all sorts of improvised antennas e.g. a 25 foot long wire thrown over a tree branch just 9 feet above ground.  You saw it at Gilbert one year.  See attached and check my QRZ page for photo of it.

 Thanks, Alex.  I kind of figured as much.  Will do a little homework on those sets.My interest is in whether sets with ALE are compatible with improvised antennas.RF

Rob,
Simple answer, both.
Examples from my career:   
   - Harris RF3200 XCVR with ALE connected to a Harris 3281 tuner and a Shakespeare 32' whip mounted on the roof of a telecommunication facility.
   - Datron TW7000 (1KW amp) with ALE connected to a Datron ABB1000 broadband antenna mounted on the roof of a telecommunication facility.
   - Datron TW7000 with ALE connected to a B&W T2FD mounted on the roof of a telecommunication facility.
   - Harris RF3200 XCVR with ALE connected to a Harris 3281 tuner and a Harris RF1912 fan dipole suspended from creosote utility poles at a telecommunication facility.   

   - Harris RF3200 XCVR with ALE connected to a Sabre 800-T-T-1-J-HD Antenna System (Broadband) setup in a caged area of a parking lot at a telecommunication facility.

 Do they need to use a broadband antenna, or do they cycle through different antenna matching solutions when checking different bands?  Or?
Can you give an example?
I'm still in the iron age...
