Would you be better with a 15m antenna and tune it down to 10-12 meter or a 10-12 and tune it up to 15? I ordered a qt80 mobile and am thinking around about an antenna. Was thinking about a 102 and spring whip and a cheap tuner. I can add a riser to the 102 and bring it up to 15 easy enough but...

I run a small Chinese atu100 and love it. $100 and small enough to fit in the car at the base feed of the antenna.

everyone seems to be looking at these import radios that delve into 12 and or 15 meters. im looking too because im retarded i guess. what do i need with another radio and antenna system? anyway this is the nano of my 102" steel whip with a ball mount and fat spring. it shows how this whole...

i need to take the back off of it to get to the filter board. ive decided to just sit close to it and whisper words of encouragement for the moment

yes. up and down like normal

i hooked it up today finally had some time. the smeter shows a steady 4 units with antenna or not. when i finally find a signal that is strong enough to hear it does not move the meter. if i pop the key, the meter rises and the static drops until it sets back to the starting 4 units. like a slow...

Was leaning toward functionality really. Vfo feel, menu ease, reception quality, noise blanker effectiveness, you know - that stuff

Here it is

Look up sv3ora noise blanker on YouTube. And yea it works great. Very great. Very very great. line noise -gone. Has a preselector that lets it work all hf bands.

I’m going to check that meter today. I was fiddling around with a ground jumper that was hooked to the radio and was trying to ground to the power supply for some noise reduction and hit the wrong damn terminal and that’s how the spike occurred.

Yeah.

heres what happened. i had the kenwood all hooked up and it was working fine. i was jacking around with my power supply setup and believe i sent a 120v spike to the dc side of the multitap bus i use. it didnt damage anything else on the power supply however the kenwood has lost most of its...

What is everyone thats doing qrp, or at least under 20w, using these days?

Thanks man

Ok now it loaded

This is the level of power line noise that the poco just can’t seem to find. Gosh they just have never heard of line noise before.
