Hi
I am pretty new to Ham radio, so I offer the following.
I recently strung a G5RV Pro ZS6BKW Optimized with 1:1 Balun. It is about 55 feet in the trees, but that is not the point. https://www.amateurradiosupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=10098
When attempting to tune the SWR I found in to be UN-tunable.
I have a 70-80 foot piece of LMR 400 cable attached to the Balun. I disconnected the LMR-400 from the Balun and connected a 50 ohm, 10 watt resister via a SO-239 (soldered to the SO-239).
Question: If my PL-259's are solderer correctly, should I get a 1.0 SWR at the other end using a MFJ-266B to measure it with?
