Hi All,
Perhaps this is just too naive-but would it not be possible to put a
resistor in series to swamp the Ant.system resistance so that changes in
it have little or at least less effect on the current! This would of
course require more power to get the required current but for such a low
power beacon this should not be too difficult. 73s Laurie.
Plus it would buffer the TX against changes in load - or, looked at
another way, it would reduce the Q of the antenna so tuning would
be less critical. Sounds like a great idea.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
