    The only thing I did to stop the feedback/squeal was to wire up my D-104 to it AND I bought new jumpers, apparently my other new jumpers were junk! I never suspected the jumpers at all since they were only a couple of months old! Both of them came apart when I was taking them loose to test them...

    Recommendations on an inexpensive 10/11/12 meter base antenna

    I have a Starduster M-400, it can be tuned to work both 10/11 meters, mine did well on both and the swr was reasonable on both bands, 1.2 on 11 meters and 1.4 on 10 meters, could have likely gotten lower swr but was happy with my 1st tuning and left it there!

    I don't use talkback but I did fix the problem!

    Better than average SSB radio

    Apparently they have no issues with putting ham radio's on 11 meters, but won't add extra channels to CB radio's! If both are illegal to do, then why not add channels to CB radio's? Just curious!

    Not many technicians around my area, I did go inside and turn the modulation all the way up and am getting good results now when I use it. At 1 watt dead key now it will swing 10, not sure how to make it swing the 28 watts the other guy is talking about his radio is doing! Nothing else has been...

    I don't use the talkback feature so I don't know!

    emperor ts-5010

    I haven't had any issues with my Emperor 5010 as far as modulation on AM goes, the radio was given to me by a friend after her father passed away, it had been in her closet for 5 years! After 2 years of laying under my bed, I decided to make sure that it still worked, it did, so i bought a...

    I love mine, but everyone I talk to says it's really low on AM modulation, even with my new power mic they still say it's low and I can't turn it up much because it starts squealing. Also the SSB seems to be off a bit and the clarifier has to be run between the 10-11 o'clock position, it's new!

    HY-GAIN SPT 500 PENETRATOR TUNING

    Lol, I don't see how anyone can put an antenna together wrong as far as actual assembly goes, it's pretty simple when following the manufacturers instructions and this isn't my 1st rodeo when putting together any antenna, anyway it's already been sent back and I've gotten my refund! I had one of...

    HY-GAIN SPT 500 PENETRATOR TUNING

    Well, I sent pictures to DX Engineering of the parts I recieved as well as the antenna, I took that antenna apart several times and reassembled it, if anything was wrong it was because the assembly instructions were wrong along with what I looked at on various sites! The antenna was junk and...

    HY-GAIN SPT 500 PENETRATOR TUNING

    I've tried every single setup mentioned from various forums and have concluded that my antenna is somehow damaged, I can't get the swr below 6.0 on 11 meters and a 2.0 on 10 meters regardless of length and so far DX Engineering and MFJ (Hy-gain) has failed to communicate with me in a meaningful...
