Start here: The source-backed URT1 balanced-antenna starting point is a coax-fed dipole or inverted V with its BALUN in the center and the Tuner Unit connected by coax near the antenna.
What the operator is actually controlling
This preserves the balanced antenna interface while letting the URT1 tune from its documented coax ANTENNA port. Geometry, height, support, balun, and feed-line length still determine the installed load.
Use this sequence
- Build the dipole or inverted V from its own controlled dimensions.
- Install the correct center BALUN.
- Place the URT1 Tuner Unit as close to that feed system as practical.
- Connect only the ANTENNA coax port; leave the beehive empty.
Do not make these substitutions
- Calling any two wires a documented URT1 balanced antenna.
- Replacing the BALUN with an adapter.
- Using an unverified neighboring antenna recipe.
