Name here is Sean, WB4UR
Rig is a Yaesu FT-757 GX II and using an MFJ 245-E Tuner.
Antenna is an HF5B / Butternut on a mast 30 Ft up on Rohn Tower.
Having a time tuning to get a low SWR when using SSB - mainly Upper Sideband.
What Frequency and Mode is recommended to tune up on. (I hear CW or AM)
The Inductor is labeled A - L.
I have had the HF5B since 2005.
Whenever I tune for the lowest SWR and think that the SWR is low, I key up on a vacant frequency and the SWR needle goes up at the same time. I have the tune button in the out position when I do this.
I would like a refresher instruction on tuning up on the bands, especially on 20m if I want to check into the net on 14.300 USB. Is there a video on YouTube that would steer me in the right direction?
Thank you
