Default ferrite toroids and capacitors for antenna tuner

Roy,

Exactly what "broadband HF power application" do you have in mind?


Sorry, I should have been more precise. What I wrote referred to
an antenna tuner that covers the various ham/marine bands in the
1.5 MHz to 50 MHz range, i.e inductors and capacitors that are
suitable for use in this 'broad' frequency range. Also, the antenna
tuner probably will have a balun in it, which would not be tuned
and hence would be broadband.

Are you a licensed amateur?


Yes.

How will you be using them?


I am trying to set up a rig on a boat, and one of the options is to
make a remote controlled antenna tuner for RX, and up to ~100W TX,
instead of using one of the rather expensive commercial units. The
antenna/tuner will be used to receive marine weather transmissions,
and for CW QSOs on the ham bands.

Thanks,

John, HA5PG/MM
