of the vertical to resonate the vertical in each band. In those cases where the traps have already been
adjusted, leave them as-is for now.
Check the vertical for low SWR on each band and note those frequencies. This will help determine
what adjustments are needed. After installation and tuning of the 12m kit, the BTV will likely be
tuned to about the same frequency in the 10 meter band and a little higher in the 15 and 20 meter
bands. No difference is likely on 30, 40 or 80 meters. In most cases, re-tuning to the desired
frequencies for each band can be accomplished by adjusting the tubing dimensions of each section
as described in the DX Engineering Hustler BTV Installation and Assembly Guide.
