Hello. I'm looking for a PAL 350 MDX amplifier.

Thank you all for your input and thoughts on antenna tuning. I have added a tuning box to my mobile setup and now have a good match

Thank you for your thoughts. I will research and investigate. I appreciate it

It's still 1.5

I had it on a 3/8 stud. With 18ft of 217 coax. Swr was 1.2 and a 1/4 watt reflect at 1.5k . It Was easily toonable for any Chanel. I decided to upgrade. It's now on a high power puck mounted on a 4 " bracket with new 217 coax , but it's not happy. Swr now 1.5 I'm trying to get lower match back

Predator 30k short shaft. With 18ft of 217 coax on a high power puck mounted on a 4" bracket

It was working great with 1.5k . I decided to upgrade. I mounted it on a high power puck on a 4" mount. With new 217 coax . Now the swr is 1.5 I did adjust the stinger in and out with mfj-259d attached. Swr only got worse and ohms changed drastically. For some reason it's seeing...

Yes. Makes sense. I'm try to change the Impedance to make the swr lower . So witch would you suggest. Inductor air coil on the positive lead of coax and cap or chock off the back through the ground ? Here's a picture.

Yes. When I used the stud mount previously I had 1.2 and 1/4 watt reflect. I have an mfj-259d antennaanalyzer. I installed new 4" bracket with high power puck and new 217 coax 18ft . Now swr is 1.5 I tried a shunt but it raised swr to 1.8 , maybe it's too long ? Not sure .

Yes. That is the one. I used it on a 3/8inch stud mount on a 2 " bracket. My swr was 1.2 and 1/4 watt reflect I switched to a 4" mount with a high power puck. Now swr is 1.5 I ran new ground straps and new 217 coax . For some reason it's not happy. I tried changing the angle up and down...

Hello. I have a question about tuning an antenna. Is it better to use an air variable capacitor or a roller inductor "18f" with a choke to change impedanc, to Obtain a lower match ? Please share experience and suggestions. Thanks

The radio does receive properly without the amp. I will see about ordering a new relay for the amp. Thanks much

Hello. Can someone explain why my receive goes quiet after transmitting on my radio? If I click the microphone button on and off, then the receive comes back. I have an amplifier in line, maybe something is going out on the amp ?
