This is a little project that i have been thinking about building for awhile now, this is a VHF and UHF antenna tuner / matcher. This item well help you tune a random rubber duckie, outside antenna, or just a whip so your scanner well be able to RX better then it could before, depending on the coil used and just as many taps on it, you can fine tune a antenna perfectly to your scanner radio. I built this tuner and tested it on the bench with my Uniden Bearcat BC-796D 25-1300mhz scanning reciever.

Thoughts and Modifications of mine on the Vectronics VC-300M 300 Watt Mobile antenna tuner.

    Great job. What size and length of wire did you use for your coil? I would love to try making one of these myself. What function does the switch actually provide? I understand the tuner knob part but not sure about the switch.
