While you are doing the mic I would strongly recommend doing the R2213 Resistor Replacement mod. If you don't remove this resistor from the main board then it's only a matter of time before you have major issues. I done it to mine just in time as I could see scorch marks around the resistor on...
OK, thats interesting I will take a better look at that. Yes transmitting at low frequencies like that is a bit of a worry especially when they use such huge power.
Sorry what I meant was that it is perhaps the biggest CB Antenna on the planet. Yes your antenna certainly wins size wise. Wow what a ripper. Thank you for sharing this with me.
Kind regards Jaydean
Yes I also have an Acom 1000 and using other electronic equipment within meters of the amp and no interference at full output. Very nice amplifiers, clean output and great filtering.
Hi Folks
Just wondering if anyone's seen the new antenna that Motormouth Maul has just put up. I've never seen anything like it before. It has a 117 foot long boom and 16 elements on 27Mhz! Iv'e seen big antennas before but nothing like this...
I think the LDMOS amplifiers will eventually take over as they are much less complicated to build and they pump out huge power. Also they run at around 50V so switchmode power supplies are also much cheaper than trying to make a huge 13.8V beast that runs at several hundred amps.
I have the same antenna. It is the newer version purchased from Strictly Ham in Australia. Mine is exactly the same, I cant get the SWR below 1.5 to 1. I replaced the matching system with copper as the drawn aluminium one is very brittle and eventually breaks. Good antenna but I also would like...
