    Craziest swr question ever??

    Yes I actually upgraded the coax from lmr 240 to lmr 400 and check the continuity and is good. So I did my best to cover all my ground so I wouldn't have issues. But got one anyway. Go figure. Thanks for the advice.

    Craziest swr question ever??

    Yes sir, they are at 1.1 with it off. And 1.1 with it on but going into a dummy load. Only when the antenna is in line and amp on is when 20 is very high swr. But antenna still in line and amp off, swr is good.

    Craziest swr question ever??

    Hi everyone, here is the most puzzling issue I ever encountered. I just bought a lp-100A watt meter and I checked my output and swr with a dummy load in line with amp on. My swr on ch1 - ch20 - and ch40 are all 1.1 now when I put my antenna in line, my swr on ch1 - and ch40 are low, 1.1...

    Watt meter

    Hi all, considering investing in a Telepost LP-100A I have a few inexpensive watt meters but dont really trust their accuracy. Is it worth the money for this unit? Thanks for the advice.

    SX super cap or battery.

    The amp is 14.5 volt fatboy and 8 pill fatboy. Supposed to do around 1600 watts peak. Only getting near 1300 peak. Cant put more into the amp cause the lights in the house will dim even more

    I only have a 100 amp breaker. Off same outlet running a galaxy 98 an 8 pill and a 150 amp power supply and also a 75 amp power supply. The house light dim and dried running the 8 pill and supply ti a different part of the house. Same thing. Guy I bought the amp and supply setup from said get a cap.

    SX super cap or battery.

    Hi, super caps are a whole new thing to me. Just recently had suggested to me to use one because I am drawing to much juice from the wall and not reaching the full potential from my amp. But man that's another 500+ dollars and I dont have that right now. Couldn't I use a really good new car...

    Line conditioner or surge protection strip

    Thanks for the reply. Well I'm using a galaxy 98vhp for the base along with a 150amp 15.0. Volt power supply running an 8 pill so I wasn't sure if the surge strip would really do much good or go with a conditioner.

    Line conditioner or surge protection strip

    Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone uses either a line conditioner or just a surge protection strip with your equipment. I was thinking of getting a Tripplite 1200 line conditioner. Opinions? Suggestions?? Thank you
