How To Use An Antenna Tuner
1 December 2011 | by It’s always good to review the basics now and again. I know I could use some brushing upon a few things from time to time.

I checked out the other amateur radio videos on his site. Tyler seems like a rising star and I hope to see more from him.
checked out your palstar tuner video and the other ones, good tutorial.whats the other equipment above your yeasu transceiver? thanks and keep em comming.
Always nice to have a refresher course.
This was a good refresher on the subject of antenna tuners. There is always something more to learn.
“Sort” of related to antenna tuners but….can I take an 80 meter dipole and physically slice it down to the size of a 40 meter dipole? Then use the new antenna tuner I bought to cover those frequencies where it is not resonant?
Or,,,,,can I simply fold over the excess wire in the shortening process w/o cutting it?
