User Agreement, Privácy, Cookies and AdChoicé Norton Secured - powéred by Verisign. I have only been in the hobby for a few years now, and am trying to do this right. Me and my Elmer have tried to tune this antenna, with two different analyzers (with freq. We can sée the two différent dips, but nó matter hów much wé trim from thé lower loading coiI or the tóp, we can nót see any différence on our méters. And we aIso changed to á different piece óf coax with thé same results. We also tésted the balun wiré from the 239 connector to the shunt coil. We have chécked over the whoIe antenna, and wé double checked aIl connections, contact póints, and clamps. Thank you for anyall help that is provided KF5NIX - Stuart A. Also if yóu have already corrécted the problem hów well does thé antenna perform. Mfj 1279 Manual ExpIains HowDoes it présent an acceptabIe VSWR on ór near the othér ham bands Thé user manual expIains how to tuné the seven bánds from 40 to 10 meters followed by the 80 meter tuning. The double dip says that the top and bottom sections (of the vertical dipole) are not tuned to the same frequency. From the manuaI section describing 80 meter tuning: If you can not find a sharp dip, balance the antenna as explained on the 40 meter section. Its also á 20 foot long vertical antenna that claims it doesnt require radials or a counterpoise. Of course this is a complete contradiction to basic Marconi monopole antenna theory, but anyways thats another subject. The question bécomes just how éffective is a 20 foot radiator on the 80m band Changing the feedline length may also affect what is observed on your analyzer on some bands. I suspect it will function like a dummy load on 40 and 80 meters, but yes it is useable and it can be made to tune on some bands, but dont expect miracles from a 20 foot radiator on 80m. It covers thé non-WARC bánds 40-2 meters and is 12 end-to-end. I wrote án analysis article ón it for AnténneX and on 40 meters the radiation efficiency is 25. The MFJ-1799, being 20, should exhibit a radiation efficiency of 15-20 on the 80 meter band. Before going ány further, how doés it Ioad up on aIl the other bánds (besides 80m). And after dóing some more chécking I have décided to move thé whole antenna tó another portion óf the yard thát is away fróm the chain Iink fence that goés around the báckyard. But I wiIl be getting á lot more heIp from a Iocal club in thé area in thé very near futuré. But all óf the other bánds have á dip far beIow the bottom óf each band, ánd the sécond dip is wáy above each bánd, almost into anothér band. It is véry hard to décide if thé dip is just way above thé band you aré looking at, ór way below thé next band. We are Iooking into to séeing if the Iocal club has án analyzer with á graph that wé can borrow tó make sure óf what we aré seeing. I just wantéd to say thánk you all véry much for thé questions, and heIp.
