    question about remote faceplate for Texas star Modulator V plus

    Okay, I am interested in making a remote mounted face plate that will contain a workman SWR meter and the on/off and variable power switches for the TS Mod V Plus amp. However, I do have a couple of question to make this work: Will there be any unintended problems from taking the two...

    radiation patterns of different types of antennas

    well now... I think that I need to go back to school to refresh, or just simply learn a little or a lot more about Antenna theory. Where can I go to learn starting back at the basics and working up through a moderate scientific understanding? Thanks y'all

    radiation patterns of different types of antennas

    Okay, after reading about the E and H plane, and looking at your previous post, I just have a couple more clarification questions... It looks like the E plane and H plane are on a 90 degree axis of each other. Is that in fact the case, or is it radiating not on a axis but instead all around...

    Frequency Counter

    Now that makes sense... Okay and just because I am curious, simply put how does it work when wired internally? I have seen where it is supposed to plug up to a 6 pin connector in the back of the radio, but what are those wires hooked to? Do you know of any links that show good schematics of...

    I guess this is a simple question, but maybe not... How does a frequency counter work when external of the radio? I saw a PC6 on ebay, and noticed the back had 2 coax connectors and that was it. So how does it determin the frequency the radio is recieving and allowing to pass through? I...

    radiation patterns of different types of antennas

    Okay, correct me if I am wrong. Am signals radiate out in sine wave form. On a whip without a coil the radiation patteren would leave straight out and in a perfect set up the sine wave would peak at the tip of the antenna thus reducing the resonating signal returning down the antenna. With a...

    Saying hello, and getting a 29LTD setup

    First off, I just wanted to post a message to say hello, and to apologize for the ineviatable silly (or dumb@##) questions that I will most indefinatably post. Anyway now that that is out of the way, I am getting a 29 LTD used, and wanted to know who around central North Carolina (within...
