Appreciate the info. Yeah, I was thinking about that last night. I did some research and found that many, if not most with beams are using H polarization rather than vert. After thinking it over, I may just go that route because everyone says it cuts the noise in half, and sometimes even more...

Thanks for all the replies and excellent info, guys! I have a lot of reading and studying to do before summer so I can decide on the best fit for my application. This would all be so simple if I had a 50' free-stander and a bucket truck~! But, such as it is, I have to make due. So far, looks...

Boom length of 11+ feet and element length of 18; makes the yagi design impractical for me. That's why I was asking abut the V quad. I won't have the room to swing a 3 element, let alone a 4, if my tower goes on my shed roof. Unfortunately, I'm not as young and tough as I used to be so erecting...

Personally, I would go with a yagi type all day long. BUT, this would mean a free standing tower and lots of money, plus lots of labor that this old body doesn't have much of. So, I'm wanting to put the rooftop tower on a shed, but the shed is rather close to some trees and a power line about...

I'm not sure. As with MOST MFGs, they don;t give the full info, dBd or dBi.... Here is the spec page and image" https://www.macoantennas.net/Antennas.html https://www.macoantennas.net/AntennaDetailedPages/VQuad.html

Looking to add a beam to my Arsenal and have been studying until my mind is numb. For space and wind load reasons, I've been seriously looking at the v-quad. Supposedly, 11 DB gain, roughly six or seven foot turning radius, and a 90 mph wind load survival. What I'm looking at doing is putting a...

We used to have a similar store back in the day, (Felton's Electronics) but in 1969 it burned to the ground. It took up nearly a 1/4 of a city block. Took 4 fire departments including trucks from K.I. Sawyer AFB to get the blaze out.

You'll get many different responses here because as always, the best radio is the one you have. But here is the reason I chose Stryker. I like the convenience of having a knob to turn quickly to adjust RF gain, RF power, Mic gain, squelch, etc. Especially inn a mobile situation, one should not...

Congrats, Woody!!

I stopped selling at least 5 years ago now. Fees are outrageous, you pay fees on shipping, and you have no protection when selling something as not working and for parts only.

So, basically, the mushrooms are pretty damned good!

I've been using Megawatt PSUs for some time. I parallel two 50A to run my DX-500 and I use #6 cable to tie them and [power a hub that connects my Amp to the power. My idle voltage is 14.2V and during full output I drop to 13.9v. Never lower. These readings are taken at the hub where the amp is...

I'm not looking at anything. I have a perfectly good Sirio 2008 in the air and working just fine.

Um ... What part of "That's not my question" confused you? I was simply wondering what the manufacturer intended as a power rating when posting these numbers. It seems there are many unexplained or debatable claims being made by manufacturers these days and I was just inquiring for...

I know, but that's not my question.

I don't care about the neighbors. No HOA here. But we do have a few kids in the hood and I'm not sure I can trust them to leave it alone. But I've always had this idea abut a full wave. Don't know why.

I don't. I have a garage at the rear of the property, but nothing in the front but grass and sidewalk. At one time I had considered a full wave dipole, but them I'd have to drive a pole in the ground in the front yard. LOL.

Those aren't beanies! Up here in the Yukon we call them Chooks!~

No. 50' x 140' city lot. Why do you ask?

I have the Sirio 2008 and am extremely happy with it. Talks extremely well and handles truly hard core windage. Up a few years and no issues yet.
