anytone at6666 at 6watts.

The only thing I did notice that was going on for about two mornings or days is that when I had turned the amp on and turned my power all the way down on my radio the SWR at the radio used to go to 2.0 to 2.8 and when I turn the power to where I usually put it which I believe is about 6 Watts it...

I am off tomorrow and will be taking it out and checking. I am no tech but may be able to see something obvious. The coax is fine, checked that already. Power, meter checked and fine. I run a 600W stereo amp on that line as well no issues.

So this morning I turned on my TS500DX non variable and the meter was lit, very dim, but lit and no reading. Swr went from keyed 1.3 normal amp on to 2.0. Also noticed when i unkey there is a static noise that wasnt there before that lasts about a second and when keyed amp used to show 6 on its...

Thanks. As i said in a reply with a test with a base station Ss receive got quieter but the carrier did not change on receive compared to Predator. Transmit the Predator did a hair better, and I mean a hair, as per their own response. Also I did notice in my town there's a spot where the noise...

I run anytone 6666 or a 955 or a 979 with a Texas Star 500dx non-variable the last time I had it on and mfj meter at the end line with about 30 Watts pep I was doing if I remember correctly it was a while ago it was 275 RMS swinging to 575+ Peak. Here's a video of the amp I have, he used to be a...

Ok so for an update. Tested SWR at all points and all are at 1.0(excuse me if thats not the right way to type it) on 1 through 40 at radio and at a meter where the amp should be, except after amp, waiting for meter... Quick question adjusting the input match on the amplifier is that something I...

Yes me as well. None of the main antennas say their Q. I wasn't sure if the Skipshooter was quieter because the wire is covered with plastic and the predator is all metal or because it was just better.

Yes I know. Just wondering between these two.

Yes but while mother nature is doing its thing, different antennas also do their thing.

I have learned as much about socks here than I have my entire life! LOL!

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I have read about coil Q but not very good at figuring that stuff out from what I read on how to do it and as I read most companies do not post their Q because everything else advertised for selling sounds better. I like the predator, but I like...

It is copper. 17 gauge.

I have had both tested with a relatively short distance base station that was probably about 10 miles away in a straight line and the only difference that was noticed on my end was the skipshooter seem to be a little quieter but not dropping receive carrier. Both had the exact same DK carrier...

Same with both my antennas skip talked all over the world literally, Puerto Rico, Mexico, UK, Canada, Brazil, all over the country.

What would your reason be for the Skipshooter over the Predator?

I have both With the whip the predator is 6.5ft. Skipshooter is 5. I do also have a 6ft, and a 7ft Skipshooter, but I start waking stuff with those. Skipshooter uses 17 gauge wire.

I have a 108 inch whip I have a 102 inch whip also have the riser for it for tuning it. My question is about these two antennas that I also have. I am a asking about these cuz in total length they both are about the same.

If you had a choice of the two which one would you choose? It will be mounted on top of a 2010 Jeep Renegade roof, on a puck mount. Both are the same length. My reason for asking I have always read that longer is better and I have also read that metal is also better. Which I am getting confused...
