I have an SG-231: its manual states that it can be used in a loop, one
end to the 'hot' terminal and the other to the 'ground' terminal.
Would there be a significant difference using a balanced tuner?
Ian, I also have the 231 and it is an unbalanced tuner. I tried it with the
Cobra Extra light Jr. on 80 meters and had RF all over the place. I bought
the MFJ manual balanced tuner, and problem solved. The 231 is actually
designed for long-wires or verticals. It will work on loops and all, but
with mixed results.
Now, the 231 is in my trunk with a very short lead to a 102" whip and it
works very very well. I think Palstar has some type of auto balanced tuner.
