had to re-check the top of the page. thought i was on copper-gloom-and-doom forum for a second.

awwwww.....that's messed up. dee snyder lives about 10 minutes from me. aside from seeing twisted sister at....sundance i think....before they were heavy duty into his wife's makeup back in the 70's, i first met him while he was at a local shopping mall, have seen him there on more then a few...

a moxon is a 2 element yagi with its tips folded towards each other. magically, a moxon can USUALLY outperform the 'normal' 2 element yagi. a moxon only has about 3db forward GAIN, about a half of an S-unit. combined with more or less 15 db of rejection, or 2+ S-units, it is a MORE then...

& to further explain the inside joke, in home depot-speak, a 'legend' creates an 'emotional connection', in this case, with his radio brethren ;). & a moxon ain't no joke! IMO hardly worth the effort on 6 or 2m, though i've done them, 10-12-15m are where they excel. small size, noticeable...

that's not even the best part of the replies....the alleged output disagreements we see is just as interesting. output wattage is totally irrelevant. the most important factors are: what transistors does the amp use what transistors does anything before it use what is the real world...

:) i know

nothing personal. just an inside joke only a REAL "homer" would get ;-)

legend ;-) does ct640 know.....? maybe you'll be on marvin's same page some monday, homer.....making that emotional connection....with the radio community!

yea i know. i'm thinking 1 of his pucks with the 6x6 plate & maybe 1 bolt thru it-if i can drill thru the rib-& i can surround the rear roof brace rib with the other 2 bolts..... tucker....that's what i did. the $22k is what is left over being owed after i max out his/my loans! good...

i'm $22k short of my son's college tuition this semester. soon as i send that check, my next hundred's going to you ;-) whoops, 1st i gotta hit up breedlove for a new mount for my XJ's roof so i can actually key up the radio with an antenna attached!

;-) i hope your right, tucker! i should be jumping into an optima shortly.....

i'm pretty good with vehicle noise-when the noise level is S9, shut the truck off & it doesn't change. it's the noise in the air-fluorescent lights, crappy power transformers, crappy tuneups on the vehicles driving near me-that make using the 257 a drag. if i go to the barrier beaches, away...

so guys, how is this radio in the mobile, noisy receive-wise? early on, like page 3 or something, there was a comment that implied better then the 257, but i have seen nothing since. my 257's, & delta's & omega's for that matter, were just plain horrendous in the mobile. in this great...

S9 with a CPU? hmmmmmmmm.....PLL not CPU.
