Interesting thought. Being the Gamma Match is capacitive, I presume an inductor would throw your phase reverse of where you need it for the Vector 4000 phased collinear design to function correctly.

I also had an horrendous thought;

The Sirio Gain-Master is a center-fed, capacitive coupled radiator, 5/8 dipole,
so,
what if one were to take a...

...a gamma-fed, center-fed ½ wave dipole (read DC grounded Starduster) and insulated the radiator from DC ground along with extending the radiator & radials each to 5/16 wave, then adjusted the Gamma for ~zero reactance, (adding a cmc choke & 1:1 balun) shouldn't that function similarly to the new Sirio Gain-Master center-fed 5/8?

- Just a thought :blink:
