Its a little more complicated than that. TV stations can be VHF Lo, VHF Hi, or UHF.
The type of TV (old tube) doesn't have anything to do with the frequency. A few years ago most TV stations moved to the UHF band. When you see someone selling a 'Digital' Antenna, it is almost surely only...
I used a Lincoln for a while. I did not have any problems with the audio quality. My only issue was the adjacent channel rejection. It picked up bleedover like crazy.
I have a Gizmotchy 4 element. Works fine, but I have nothing to compare it to. At least 70% of the time there is very little difference between horizontal and vertical. Not sure if a Shooting Star is the same way, or maybe this thing is more of a circular polarization instead of true...
Thanks. Yes. I should have mentioned previously. I did check all the diodes in the power supply. All tested good. As well as those 30k resistors.
I have tested again with the tubes removed, and I'm still seeing smoke
I have picked up an SB200.
I changed out the Caps on the power supply board and changed the RF input connector over to a normal Coax connector, and installed the Softkey.
When I got the amp, the power supply board was dark (burned) in the area of the 30k resistors. It seems that changing...
If you have the room for a 5 element, and the $$$, go for it. Otherwise, the 4 element will work just fine. In a side by side real world shoot, out, the difference between the two would be negligible.
Back in the early 80's when I got into SSB, LSB and USB were packed full of people every day between 36 and 40. People didn't hesitate to get on USB. In fact people outside of the US still use a lot of USB today.
I got a Lincoln +2 v3 and overall was happy with it. The receive was nearly as good as my Yaesu 840, but my biggest complaint is it picked up a ton of bleedover from strong stations on adjacent channels.
