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...

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...
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...

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 ...

Nice install , on my 706mkiigs we have in our cars we went to walmart and got some heavy duty velcro in the crafts department. We cutout the velcro where the quick disconnect clip on head so we could remove the cable from the head quickly.
The other part of the...

10/11 meter radio
Well 1st of all it would not be legal to use a 10 meter radio on 11 meters as you know .
But since some do then the RCI 2950DX version is a nice radio.Doesnt seem to drift , nice reciever and transmit audio. Large LCD Display and pretty good receiver. Variable power but...
