Recently my base radio was acting up. It was touchy when changing channels...skipping channels and showed what I thought was a decrease in power output. After asking locals I learned that we didn't have anybody in our area that was recommended. Thanks to the people here at WWRF who have...

Bamm Bamm, thank you. I'd love to have that kind of space and a tower of your height to mess with. Good luck with your situation, I'm sure you'll get it worked out.

But I have a switch on my MFJ Antenna Tuner for a second or even third antenna;-) I believe you, though.

You absolutley should be compensated, NB. By Serio and MFJ:-) I think for my particular location, and given the horrendous amounts of electrical interference I have around me, my next antenna will be some type of 5/8's metal GP. Which do you recommend? Just kidding!!! I have no problem with...

I'm sure something I did is the problem, Marconi. Hey, I woke up this morning to have absolutely ZERO noise on my receive...the needles on the meters weren't moving. That's extremely rare for me...I usually have 3 S-Units as my noise floor. Something was different electrically...maybe those...

Bamm Bamm, Was the Serio mounted in the same place as the Imax? And if it was can you estimate the distance between the antenna to the RFI/TVI affected devices? How many watts were you using? Not that I can offer any hlep to you, but I am curious. Thanks, Bob

Congrats...glad you got'er working!

Thank you Marconi. I will give all that a look later. Off to work in a few.

Why aren't you happy with your Imax? My Imax works well. It's a little noisier than ther M-400, but the Imax puts out a good signal. I have had no problems with the Imax other than the RFI to the neighbors -who are pretty close -and it being slightly noisy in my particular environment Which...

Thank you HR. Funny situation I have. I was running a fiberglass antenna before (Anttron 305) and I had no issues. Since taking a break from radio my neighbors may have installed a new entertainment system at home, though. I thought it may have been going from a 1/2 wave to the .64 of the...

Thank you, NB. I don't believe you have repeated anybody. That's an option should there still be a problem. And I don't know if the SD is problematic to the neighbors yet. I left a voice mail with them over the weekend, but they haven't called me back yet. If worse comes to worse I will...

Those are always and option Hotrod, thank you. Raising it where it is will require guying for sure. Moving it will require a whole lot of other things. I'm not so concerned about TVI/RFI at home as it's only affecting the second floor here. I am concerned about the intereference to my...

Thanks for sharing that Homer. Neat idea.

Congrats on the tower. I know you will really enjoy radio now.
