A BIG THANKS for the help. I see that the wires are for 12 volts of DC Power. I was told the tuner received it's needed power thru the Coax but that's obviously Not true for this model.

My Best friend gave me a MOTOROLA F2259A Remote Antenna Tuner last night but I can't find a manual online for it? I find many others but nothing for this tuner? Anyone have any information on this tuner or know where I might find any? Thanks in advance & God Bless. de W4KVW

But they are actually making a contact & Not Screaming, Playing a stereo, Cussing somebody out, Playing with noise toys & other crap. Not even the same at all.

Lots of choices. Google QRP Amateur Radio Amplifiers.

Buy a Legal Amateur Amplifier with filtering built into the amplifier. CB Amplifiers are DIRTY & Splatter across the bands including 6 meters. Leave the 11 meter garbage on 11 meters where nobody cares about splatter or noise.

I have seen what one hail storm does to a bunch of solar panels & you don't get any warnings ahead of time so you can try & protect them. Very expensive to repair as well. It does not matter what we use they will all fail sooner or later just like we will. Don't stress over the stuff we can't...

Most Lithium batteries require a Lithium charger. My Bioenno came with a charger & the information says not to use a regular battery charger.

What microphone are you trying to purchase from ICOM?

Well if I'm hearing & working all of those places then 10 meters obviously is NOT QUIET! LOL

I'm just going by what the package said & it was not much to see inside. I have them but I don't use them. They are in my junk box.

10 meters is Open every day from here in Northeast Florida to somewhere in South America & Europe. Today 9/18/25 I have worked several stations in Europe & South America & South Africa as well? If you are not hearing anything then you have serious issues somewhere in your station.

I have several of them & the old package they were in said, Surge Protector. Could not read the fine print due to fading on the old cardboard package. I opened the end of one & it's not much inside. Very simple to remove the end near the plug.

I'm in Baker County & I have at least (4) sections of Rohn 25 including a top section & maybe one more 10' section but I know I have (4) sections. I'm no longer going to need it since I'm putting up an FK-25 Rohn tower that folds over in the middle.

Mine was in my Ram 1500 for over a year with Zero issues here in North Florida. I promise you it gets Very HOT in a vehicle here.
