Answer: Yes and no In our world of R/C modeling, the diameter of the antenna wire matters little. But, in theory, a larger diameter wire will have a more constant SWR over a given frequency spread. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23

OK. SWR is short for Standing Wave Ratio. Which is the ratio of forward to reflected power in an antenna system, and affects the efficiency of the antenna. Ideally, a tranmitter will dump it's output into an antenna and it is radiated out to the world. The length of an antenna is dependant on

Thanks. Very interesting. >If the antenna is longer or shorter, the SWR will rise >and the radiated power will be less. If it gets too far from resonance, >it can cause damage to the transmitter output stage. Why doesn't leaving the antenna down on your Tx damage the Tx then? Is it just not

You've touched on several points. 1. ANTENNA DOWN Leaving the antenna down *is* stressful to the transmitter. But typically the manufacturer over designs it to withstand the abuse. 2. ANTENNA VOLUME Antenna theory is an UGLY course that I successfully avoided. I only skimmed the surface thankful
