    YouTube channels?

    Just decided to make a couple videos this afternoon. Who else has a YouTube channel with radio videos? I'd love to see some of your setups and contacts. I'll be making some more in the next few weeks! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCm8N8ZxHZmGKduoXIXWRG3A

    Tuning SWR with high output

    I have tried a different spot in the same location, I've never noticed any differences. Although the power lines seem close in the picture. Their actually very high. Their strung up on giant steel towers, not wooden poles. More people are interested in the spot than I thought would be so I'm...

    That's an amazing part of history right there! Must of been at the harbor that's now owned by "Fredwahls". A lot of the deadliest catch ships are in and out of their facility! My step father actually did his share of work on ships in that harbor.

    Yes your correct it technically is a 1, lol in my mind when it needle rests at the 1 it means no reflection. So a 0. But yeah it's a 1 haha. I will be testing out other antennas as well! I have a 102" whip on my Dodge at the moment that I will be using. And I'm actually looking into a military...

    Tuning SWR with high output

    Howdy all, I just wanted to let you all know the radio works perfect! I it just didn't click in my head that I needed to recalibrate the SWR meter after the power was increased! I went up in the mountains a threw my dipole way up and she had a flat 0 SWR on all channels. We even made some SSB...

    Thank you sir! She's one of my current projects that never end lol. It was stock at one point.

    Tuning SWR with high output

    Well I'll be damned... you got a point there! As I recall when I was testing out the radio and antenna I don't think I recalibrated the meter with then power increase. That makes a lot of sense now. This is my first radio with big power. The most power I've had beside this galaxy is my HR2510 at...
