OK, so the different matchings wre done in the TX ant tuner. That makes sense.
I knew that the R-392 was part of a T/R setup, though I've never actually seen
a T-195. Must be as interesting inside as the R-392, and really crammed in!

The antenna trimmer in the receiver optimizes the match in either case. The
antenna binding post on the receiver is the same input as the BNC.

So as long as I get a definite peak with the Ant Trimmer, and not at one
extreme of capacitance, I'm probably matching properly to whatever antenna I'm
using. Last time I used the radio, it seemed to have a good double peak (not
an extreme), so I guess all is well.

I started this thread due to a similar discussion on the R-388 (high impedance
antenna input) versus the 51J-3 (allegedly low-Z link input). My schematics
for both those radios show a high-Z input, cap coupled to the top of the Ant
coil and the RF amp grid. --Mike K.
