It’s all gmrs and cell phones boys

My grantxl is sick. So I pulled out the ol 797. I did a full alignment when I bought it and tweaked it a little. Ok a lot. But I’ve not powered it up in 2 years and thought I’d throw it in line for a temp. Still spot on. Still rolling good. I’ve got 2 of them and both needed alignment. Both...

I see. Hmmmm. Gonna need to look into that

That ain’t no lie

If I was a radial, I’d guess at the base of the antenna. Not being a smart ass. My jpole has a flat base. It does not have the typical long downward leg. Think like an arrow antenna where it has the two elements extending off the base upward

Ain’t gonna lie, I became more interested when the price dropped.

Man I’m thinking about using some of this cable trunk line that’s laying around all over our area. 450mhz loss is not bad

These gmrs guys kill me. They were on the linked repeater system and guy 1 told guy 2 that he was coming in loud and clear. Guy 2 said “yeah we must be having real good conditions with the rain that came through”. He sounded serious. Uh it’s a repeater man

The hardest part of online testing for me was setting up the frn# and the things involved with the fcc. Second would be the testing itself. Not the information but locking myself into the bathroom with a computer and a cell phone camera so they could watch me. I was in a bathroom. With...

I’m looking at using it for uhf. Fittings are an issue tho

Took mine online. Kinda a pain. Easy enough though.

Thanks. I’ve emailed the company for schematics. Not happening I’m sure.

I bought a Chinese 898s dual band mobile. A cheap Chinese mobile. And that’s what I get. I know. Anyway, my group tells me the signal is fine but the audio is very quiet. Even with the mic apart where there’s nothing blocking the element it’s still very low. I’ve not found a setting in the menu...

I have quite a bit of this laying around. It is old television cable company transmission lines. I think it’s ps700 but can not tell, can’t find any information on the sheathing. It has a steel traveler on it for hanging overhead.

No I sure didn’t. I’ll have to try that out.

Not here. Salty old men want the repeater empty. Repeater traffic here is a joke and almost non existent.

Well that wasn’t very helpful. The sent a link to the service manual. I’ve already got that. Hmmm well try try some more

Yeah nothing online. I emailed them this weekend. Since it will adjust in the service menu but doesn’t seem to hold after you exit I’m hoping it’s just a hex setting. And I really hope they will just send the factory hex values so I can edit them and that does it. Other than this it’s been a...

This is a 440mhz sweep of a comet 146mhz mono band antenna using rg8 coax. Yes I’ll be changing to lmr400 I’ve just been lazy. The sharp sawtooth pattern of purple and the fairly sharp swr pattern is what I’m curious about. Being new to really fooling with the higher frequencies I have to wonder...
