I couldn't agree more - G . . . eg - the gubment allows for export radios on the country and gladly accepts the import duties. While the other hand collects money/penalties for those who use them out of spec/band. I also agree that while all other countries don't have a problem with .555; the US does. <sigh>

rfoutput:
What I am hoping to accomplish by this retune - is to make it closer to the 28.3-5mhz with better resonance and a better SWR. Using an antenna tuner to make up the difference. The antenna 'stock/OEM' from Sirio is centered @ 27.205. On one side of the bandwidth curve - it is flatter than the other side. I don't do the ch 6/AM thing; but I do talk on 38LSB with that crowd. So long as CB ops stay off of the Ham bands - I don't mind it much myself. I also enjoy that portion of 10m and use it just as often as it is open. Sorry for the misunderstanding . . .
