A 43 foot vertical or end-fed or a 86' dipole. I created a spreadsheet several years back that found all of the non-even harmonic radiator lengths from 160-6m and then graphed the points so you could visually "find" gaps in the graph to pick your antenna length. It even had an option for dipoles and loops.

I think I know the answer, but I want to double check... That 43 foot antenna... is it an end-fed random wire off the back of the tuner? or a center-fed dipole, with total span 43 feet? Also, as a side question... Anyone happen to know why all the other higher-end modern rigs (Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, Ten-Tec), use swept spectrum analyzers instead of using an FFT like Flex Radio uses? - de Dave, N7AIG _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
