Clarity of explanation.

Now you need to impedance match the resonant antenna system (which may include loading coils for example) to the feedline. A “tuner” may accomplish both of those steps for you depending on your antenna system. Then you can measure the radio end of the feedline to see what if any additional matching is needed. | |
