New Station Plan

Notes on proposed re-organisation of the radios and antennas.

• Relocated the Ranger tuner to under the balcony;
• Couple ladder-line to the tuner using the existing balun (replace PL259 with ring terminals);
• Replace coax feeder with single piece of RG213;
• Provide power connection for tuner;
• Improve earth connection for tuner (possibly not necessary given its feeding a balanced antenna);
• Connect antenna to Antenna Socket 1 on IC-7400.

• Replace coax feeder (RG213 from radio to outside, RG400 in air up to antenna);
• Connect antenna to Antenna Socket 2 on IC-7400.

• Replace Ranger tuner with ugly balun (RG400 looped through ferrite ring);
• Connect shield side of balun to roof;
• Replace coax feeder with single piece of RG213 (kept as short as possible);
• Connect antenna to LDG AT-7000 automatic tuner;
• Connect tuner to IC-718.
