Need Amp Recommendation

The 9-turn coil will probably get reduced to 4 or 5 turns. The 5-50pf trimmer cap will be too small, even with the 56pf disc cap in parallel with it. Adding a 47pf or 56 pf cap one at a time in parallel will let you "step" up in capacitance roughly equal to the control's adjustment range. Odds are you'll end up with a total parallel capacitance around 200 pf. A trimmer with a higher capacitance range would accomplish the same thing with fewer parts.

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
