Default Automatic Antenna Tuner

"Fred" a écrit dans le message de news:
...
I am trying to match my TS-50 with an AT-50 to a random length wire of
about 50 to 60 ft. At this point 160 through 20 meters tune up fine
however, on 15 and 10 meters the tuner gives me a failure indication.
My question, is there a optimum wire length? even on a random lenght
antenna.
Thanks for any advice.
Fred



Tuners have difficulties when the length of the wire is close to 0.5lambda,
lambda, 1.5lambda etc.
