Recently I went ahead and got into gmrs. I’m already in cb and ham so he’ll why it right? Come to find out, we have several linked repeaters in Arkansas. One guy has 3 simulcast repeaters set up locally covering a pretty big section of the state. Best I can tell, the repeater owners are hams...

It’s supposed to be a monoband. But it don’t look too bad as a duel band depending on where you need to be

right now I’m running this. Diamond Original CP22E High-Gain Monoband Antenna https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AR095VI/?tag=worradfor-20

On 70 as well as gmrs?

I know that a jpole works without the need of radials. But, what happens if you add radials? Has that been modeled? Never considered it until today really. Would it pull the radiation angle down lower? Would it balance the field plot? Would it make your signal shoot straight into space and call...

I dunno. I don’t know that I’ll really improve over what I have in place already. I’ve a tram vhf ground plane because I wasn’t planning on doing any 70cm. Now I’m playing with it so I made a jpole for a dual band. Both feed points are the same height and on 2m there’s some difference but not...

I’ll see your tuned for commercial (I didn’t pay attention as usual) and I’ll raise you this one. https://powerwerx.com/base-station-wide-dual-band-antenna Which I think is the same antenna actually. I’m trying to find one with a spread wide enough to cover 2m/frs and 70cm/gmrs. I’m using a...

https://www.diamondantenna.net/x50c2.html Anyone tried one for vhf/uhf base operations? Thoughts, opinions so on??

I need the factory file for this radio. I can’t get it to adjust the software menus from the service menu. Having some issues. So I figure I can dump a fresh file and it might correct some things. Some instructions would be good too

I built it like he said but maybe trimmed it wrong. Still works great but the length is off. I need to revisit it and see. And maybe it’s the situation above my car? Still fantastic though

I wish I’d learned to model in the software. I have 2 different antenna programs and I’m a tard

With a field strength meter I can watch the reading go up and down based on how I turn the ground plane antenna. The meter is 3ft off the ground 20 ft away. I’m assuming that’s what your call “ground loss”. What happens if I ring the plane radials together with a wire, making a hoop basically...

It’s a vhf only mobile vertical. I can use an analyzer on it but am interested in the actual plot

Can someone with nec model a vertical mobile 2 meter antenna for me?

The first mobile test was eye opening. Station 1 is a diamond ground plane 25’ off the ground using an alinco 45w mobile as a base station. Station 2 is my mobile using a cheap Chinese mobile 25w tyt 898 radio. Simplex My rx 1/4 nmo s3 5/8 dual band nmo s3-s5 Jpole full scale My tx 1/4 nmo...

What’s the point of the coil? I can’t see where it’s changed the vertical length and it’s not a loading coil. So what is it?

My first 40ch Ssb radio. I loved it. I found another one last year and bought it. The memories were still there but I can’t seem to find the channel all the folks from 25 years ago used to run with me. Must be the radio, Not time.

Anyone want to model this?

Trimag tram mount with 102” ss whip. Testing it out later

The point of his was that it has the flexibility to be a mobile rig and hit drive thrus and banks
