G'Day Everyone,
Up until now I have been using my FTdx-5000 through an Antenna Tuner then onto the Dipole (which I use on all bands).
No, I have just bought a new ACOM-1500. ACOM have said to me, as long as the SWR isn't too crazy (below 3:1) then the ACOM will be able to tune the antenna.
My question is: With the ACOM in circuit and turned on to on Standby then the Amp can be used to tune the dipole when needed. If then Turn Off the amp, what happens then?
Will I need to reintroduce the Antenna Tuner?
