Group,

I have been having trouble tuning the 20 Meter and other bands on the AV-680 Hygain antenna.

My "guess" is that the tuning lengths in the AV-640 manual for the capacitance hat are the same for the AV-680.

Has anyone tried the tuning step ? The initial length for 20 Meters is 14.5 inches as shown on the diagram and the length in the AV-640 is about 10 inches.

I worked out the information myself, as I received no replies.

Length of spokes on Capacitor Hat :

80 Meter 48 inches
40 Meter 38 inches
30 Meter 23.5 inches
20 Meter 10 inches
