Hi Guys
The estimated length for the Command Set antenna on a B-24 is about 45 feet taking into account the length inside the fuselage.
I cannot get this work with my command set on 3885. No antenna current at all. Dosen't matter if I use the 200 pF cap on the antenna relay unit.
I can use my 9:1 Balun and series capacitor, the output of which goes to an MFJ tuner connected to the 45 foot wire. I'm getting about 30W out with low Ip.
Don't understand what I'm doing wrong with only the 45 foot wire.
I can certainly do it this way at the airwhow this week, but I'd rather not have the MFJ box in line.
