Any correction factors made using
Global Correction Factor
options will also be added
to element length. Dipoles like on DB36 and DB42 use the End 2 elements to tune dipole,
reflector and last director. There are three ways to tune the wire dipole namely, 1)
adjusting the band correction, 2) multi-element adjusts or 3) individually adjust the
elements. The 80 meter dipole has a segment every 100 kHz. To trim the dipole across
entire band, segments need to be corrected individually. The vertical coil has more than
one segment for a given band, they each must be tuned separately.
