PreppComm ɑ End Fed NO TUNE 80/40/20 Antenna Unlike the PreppComm NO TUNE 40/20 antenna, which is a complete system for rapid deploy and repacking, this end fed is designed for permanent installation. However, it is also possible to use in a temporary setup by providing the needed additional components (not included). The antenna can be used without a tuner with a reasonable SWR, or perfect SWR if you add an antenna tuner (not included). The antenna is approximately 60 feet long, and supports 250W PEP SSB, 125W CW, and 25W digital. The antenna can achieve good SWR at 80M, even though the antenna is approximately the same length as our NO TUNE 40/20 antenna, which only operates on 40 and 20 meters. This is due to a different transformer design. The SWR performance is actually better at 80M (SWR = 2.1) than at 40M (SWR = 2.7), but gets better at 20M (SWR = 2.2). All of these SWR’s will be sufficiently low for the MMX series to operate safely. If a tuner is used, then the SWR can be adjus
