I use a West Mountain Radio RigBlaster Plug&Play to provide a USB to CI-V interface. You also get an Audio interface as a "side" benefit. I use it with Ham Radio Deluxe as well as other radio programs. Ron W5RKN ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronald G.

Determining the length of a driven element
by Phil 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hello, During a casual conversation recently, the topic of aerial trimming came up. Perhaps this may be a little off-topic here but since I don't know the answer I thought this would be a good place to ask anyway. Say a dipole has an SWR of 5:1 at one end of a band and 4:1 at the other end. Further, let's say that the dipole will be used at the centre of the band and with a reasonable SWR. It has been determined that the dipole needs to be shortened. The question is by how much? The person asking the question is reluctant to pull the aerial down a dozen times so that short lengths can be nibbled off each end and instead wants to know if the amount that needs to be cut off can be determined from the difference in the SWR at both ends of the band. A logical question I suppose but is there a reasonable answer? -- Regards, Phil
