On your Icom 7000 setup with ALS500M did you have to have a relay buffer installed between radio and amplifier or was you able to hardkey it directly ? I just ordered a ALS500MR over the weekend and just trying to have everything ready to go . We will be using a ICOM 7000 with our amp setup...

Those HY GAIN BIG GUN II are awesome no doubt. Here is mine up at 65 ft to the boom 72 ft to the top http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/PONYEXPRESS/BIGGUNIIQUAD.jpg http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/PONYEXPRESS/P1010458.jpg...

SPT-500 I spotted the 4th cap hat rod in pic so looks like they got it right

Anti Oxidant We purchased our anti oxidant at Lowes and use it on all my antennas. Makes it much easier to take apart as well as maintaining solid conductivity. When we bonded our mobile antenna setup with the ground straps all of the ground points had anti oxidant applied. We had a...

Penetrator 500 Question. What only 3 capacity hats on top and not 4 ? The next ? is who had them in stock ? BBT = Big Brown Truck

Oh no I hope my 4 element Hygain Big Gun II cubical quad stays up here in missouri :biggrin: I think it really has to do with the construction of the antenna and not the basic design. 4 element quad on 11 or 10 meters should have no issues if it uses heavy duty construction .Longer...

HY GAIN 500 Don't forget to buy the Special Modulation dust and bury a radiator in the ground as well to make you louder .

RCI 2995DX Well for my 2 cents worth I would not give my thumbs up to buy a RCI 2995DX. I wished I would have stayed away from this model I purchased 1 in Late November 2010 from dealer in Illinois and SSB transmit audio is terrible. Another guy across town purchased his during same sale...

FULL WAVE LOOP Actually a Full Wave loop will have approx 2 db gain over a dipole antenna depending if its a circular , 4 sided quad or 3 sided diamond configuration . You should have added a 1/4 wave matching stub of rg 59 or rg 11 coax at the antenna and would have gotten a low swr ...
