going to go try to get my ham ticket...my ? is how far can i tune a gain master antenna for ham freq...will it work on HF and or UHF/VHF...i know its not the best but i rent so for now i only have that to work with...thanks for any help
If you get your tech ticket then it will cover 10 meters fine. If you get you're general then the tuner will allow 10 thru 20 but above 20 if will fall off quickly. Keep in mind you could build a dipole for about $20 that would be slightly more efficient plus if you hang it in an inverted -v format you will have a better radiation pattern for DX.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
