Well now im completly confused, is that not what i had? The coil end is fastened to frame of block( braid) the gator clip on opposite end of coil goes to center conductor

I dont have room for radials that is the problem. Im not sure about where the center cond. attaches to coil. I made a little fixture that has aa male pl259. The radiating element basicly plugs right in to the other end of the male pl259 and goes up. The coil bolted on the frame of tthe block the...

I am interested, dont see where to join

I tried a coil of copper wire between the shield and center conductor, no matter where i tapped it the swr did not chang and was almost in the red. I read all the other post in the other thread and cant seem to figure out exactly what i need. I dont have ground radials, its just a wire hanging...

I have abandoned the flag pole idea. I have however strong up a 5/8 wire verticle. I made a 2.75 diameter alumine coil, of about 3-4 turns. The aluminum rod is 1/4". It wont get swr better than 2.6:1. Do i need a coil with more lenght, like say copper wire and 15-20 turns?

Yes and no, just that the pole is there already, and there is no way the wife will go for a visable white antenna in the yard or on house, currently using a Home made horizontal 1/2 wave diploe on my roof peak, you can hardly see it looking right at it from 30 ft away. Ive had good dx contacts...

I have been thinking about this for a while, the only problem i see is the pole has a few feet that are under ground. Ther is a pvc pipe in cement with a muffler clamp on the pole to stop it. Would there be a way to choke off the pole at the right length? And add ground radials. I can easily...

A birdie? What is that?

How many watts do you think that guy is running? He comes in ny loud and clear whenever hes on. His audio is unbelievable. I took this video of him last week.how does he not get in trouble? Motor mouth maul videogate 9-19-2012 - YouTube

In case anyone cares, ive had it for a while now and have been pleased with it. It dead keys on am from around 60 to 100 watts low med and high. Skip and dx contacts say i sound great. On ssb i have to turn up the Power on radio a bit to keep the Relays open but was swingin upwards of 300 or...

I cant answer that question, i just picked this thing up Used on saturday. Does it show on radio when it was made? Ill have to look when i get home, i can tell you im impressed with it over my galaxy 949 dx. I had the recieve mod on my galaxy done and the stock Recieve on 2950dx seems much...

Il check them out, doesnt have to be with connectors, i have some amphenol pl259s with the 175 adaptors, have to look to see if they work with 213

I need to make a purchase to get my temporary setup out of the garage and in to basement. I have a home made horizontal dipole on the roof, and want to leave it there but my rg58u 50 ft is not long enough and is soldered to the antenna. so im thinking a barrel connectoer pl259, and a new run if...

Ok, i just cant seem to get it right. Ive tried all different settings on mic and radio gain. There is a squeal in my power supply unless i turn everything down low enough, that the needle on my external modulation meter is low. The best results i get are with my stock galaxy mic. The stock...

Thanks, is counter clockwise all the Way down on the mic screw?

Any advice on where the mic gain on radio and on bottom of mic should be roughly? I can seem to get any call backs with the d104, is there a way to Check audio without talkback?

I had contact with UK and division 31, heard loud and clear india, germany, norway, and france, in Ny all around noon today.

Ok good info, the clicking doesnt happen when power is up, so i think that explains that.

Ok thanks, unfortunatly no local ssb ive heard yet, but glad to hear i can turn output up onssb, i was doing it but not sure if it was safe, i when i did it is when i got call backs. No, there is no needle Movement on the watt meter on a dead key in ssb mode. Just the eradic Needle swing when i...

I have a galaxy dx 949, on a palomar 2 x 1446's, with a 1/2 wave horizontal dipole. The past couple days ive had some good luck with skip, ny to texas on am today, ny to california, arizona on ssb, few days ago. All say sounds great. The key up on am is very steady on my external watt meter...
