Donald I did not mean this information as a fix to anything except that it did seem to fix the way that Eznec reported the currents in the tabular current report. My point was that if one sees the current results from the first model with two end 1's connecting the dipole...one might figure the software was in error without knowing why.
Did you read page 97, of the Manual I attached below concerning Currents? It explains the situation better than I can. I know you can understand what that rule is all about.
If you still hold that Eznec is in error due to your testing the collinear idea you tell us about...then so be it. I didn't expect my information to change your mind, but I think it does answer the question we discussed back in 2012, and that information was right there in the manual all the time. I just did not recall the words when I saw something strange going on.
Regarding the sleeved dipole that some consider similar to the way the S4/NV4K works in the cone area, and that the cone is in fact a form of a sleeve. We understand that the sleeve carries CMC that terminate in a high impedance point at the bottom end of the 1/4 wave sleeve.
Are you then suggesting that the CMC's on the S4/NV4k emanates where the coax terminates at the feed point, instead of these currents flowing down the feed line, like they do to some degree with all other setups that lack balance at the feed point. But instead, that the currents just happen to flow up the radials in a constructive phase with the radiator above?
You've referred to this S4 type cone as a sleeve right here in this thread: http://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/question-on-the-vector.174038/#post-494731
I remember someone of the ham forum where Booty Monster presented his homemade Vector. You or someone else was claiming the idea that the Vector cone was a sleeve, and this ham member was arguing, saying the sleeve was the opposite idea of the cone on the Vector, and the feed points were at opposite ends.
DB, the Eznec dipole model I posted below shows how the currents should look when done correctly, and when not. That said you will note that all other performance data remains the same.
I posted these attachments and some words describing them last night and it was saved to the forum, I checked. This morning I see that work's disappeared.
