Good Day All,
I was out with the local radio club on Saturday for the Lighthouse Weekend and took my new KX3 out for a play.
The antenna I used is a homebrew magloop (40-10m) made from LMR-400 coax. The design is a direct replica of the ALEXLOOP WALKHAM.
Anyway a fellow club member...
Rf ground for the switch box is via the mount to the tower. The control box has a lug, for both dc and rf ground.
I'll see how it goes post shack grounding.
Then see if it is an interaction issue, I chose the bands as they should be relatively invisible to each other (maybe too close?)...
M42,
At present I have no grounding stake.
This will be resolved in a fortnight. The earth stake will be placed outside the shack total wire length to the stake 8 ft.
All understood it could be an rf issue. However I am not getting any other symptoms.
Tadge
Good Day All,
I have a VSWR problem.
My antenna setup consists of an 80m a 40m a 20m and a 10m dipole with the feed points separated by about 12 inches on a boom on top of a 30ft tower.
An Ameritron rcs-8 remote switch is mounted 18 inces below the boom.
Ok, so I tune all the dipoles...
