first of all i did not call your equiptment crappy lol correct spelling (equipment) i said components (internals)caps,resistors diodes.as far as 400 watt average 2 pill with 70 watt pills well i will leave that alone all together.73s merry xmas.

my 2 cents.first off no galaxy 225 with 2sc1446s and crappy components is going to do 315 watts unless maybe in pep watts so whatever it will do on ssb is what it will do and am will be about half of that most likely.second the 102 is tried and true at 8.5 feet a full 1/4 wave you cannot beat...

hello guys there is a couple things here that dont make much sense to me in testing this antenna.1-having antenna heights tip to tip seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of the longer antenna?2-comparing antennas signals at 10 miles?i would take that with a grain of salt.you should at least...

cdx thank you for your contributions to this topic!i to have tested my a99 with gpk against the stock imax and also got the same results as you 2s units both sides.and swapped maco for imax which was about 1s+. i had a p500 but did not test it against the imax and got rid of it:oops:.i now have...

that sounds like a good set up but hey oggy shakespeare still makes 4 commercial grade military base antennas model 222-b 35 foot fiberglass $2400 model 229-b 35 foot $4000 model 390-img 23 foot $200 and model 4328 28 foot $600 dollars and there is still a marine big stick 18 foot.but who has...

cdx cant wait to hear your results, as marconi stated 1-3 s units between his astroplane sounds about right,however i dont expect to see that kind of difference between your penetrator and imax and sgm.i guess we will have to wait and see.

oggy all the specs i found on the abs1600 claim its a 21 foot antenna, with that said that would put the radiator length at about 19-20 feet long, the imax 2000 radiator is longer then your whole antenna.all those true 5/8 i listed have around 22 1/2 foot radiator.so abs1600 falls short of that...

i dont know about all this hype 1-2 db over a typical 5/8, are sirios 5/8 typical?i have seen antrons and stardusters advertised as 5/8 is that typical?an sgm improving over an antron99?an a@@tron99 are you serious!a 21 foot s@@t stick that has what about 20 feet of radiator maybe?two different...

my opinion the vector is the best period. bigger is better the tornado is a little longer than the 827 more comparable.i own the 19 and 1/2 foot maco 5/8 and the 24 foot imax and the imax works better,covers more frequencys and does not change in the rain.

ok well try your 959 on ssb and see what kind of output you get.150 out of a 2879 is not out of the ordinary i have seen 2879s do 200 out of each with a lot of drive and voltage.your meter only reads pep are you serious.

did you test it on average power?or was that pep.

thanks ct i have no problems talking 100 miles with 25 watts at 40 feet and the band width is under 2.5 from 25 to 28.5.so unless that baby snaps the mast again she is going to stay right there lol.

shock i heard the workman is identical to the w 5/8 and that antenna would probably perform better with a longer radiator.as far as the trombone on that i10k i think higher gain might be silly but better contact than that maco loop and bent alluminum bracket with that hose clamp is likely.if...

from what i have heard the workman is identical to the v 5/8 and the 5000 has a thicker gauge tap wire for higher power.i have a maco and upgraded the tap wire to larger gauge you can check it out at the maco 5/8 to .64 thread below.you may want to keep that imax like rob suggested and try to...

sounds like another case of pep confusion!sounds like the galaxy has higher dead key and the 76 has more modulation so your probably picking up modulation, reflected power or spurious emissions as pep power which is inaccurate.test it in average or rms and it will probably look a bit better.if...
