Hello fellow hams, I am looking for a like new condition RF concepts 2-417 amplifier.. Let me know if you have one and are willing to part with it, 73s

OK got it together and up yesterday...the one thing I like that I thought I wouldn't is the plastic rings where you join each section together...it is actually a better seal then the Diamond BUT the one thing I didn't like about the Comet is that the center wire were they connect at each section...

Bottom section side by side

Comet GP-9 and Diamond X510 8.5DB - 8.3DB

UPDATE: Ok so my antenna arrives Saturday and I got to take it out of the package and I notice that there is something different...Its the correct antenna but one that Gigaparts must have sent off for Warranty because it had a Tech slip from RF Parts in there that said reason for warranty was...

$300 bones probably!!

His intentions im sure are of his own nature ...i ask a question because he isnt a Forum reader and the question was asked for my knowledge for a suggestion from what I have gathered...i didnt suggest the row of Alphas and Henry amps he has placed on his desk..and the conversation came up about...

Thank you NORTHSTAR and Blackcat 630 for being the only one to answer my question with a answer , ive been in radio communication long enough to understand that antenna and height is the most important factor..trust me thats why i have 160 of Rohn 45 sitting inside my shop ready for install.. As...

OK...we must have posted very shortly after...thank you Northstar..i will look into that

My question is Who would one consider the Top of there game on that build of Amplifier... I on the other hand have no reason to run that kind of "heater" in my shack...once i get my tower up after my Home Build i can assure anyone that if i can hear it i can reach it with 100 whiskeys!! This...

1- 1.5KW 2 meter amplifier...Who would you suggest to be the Top quality make!

Ive got everything I need for the tower install...I will have a directional beam on top with the x510 above it..don't know why I would want to return the antenna lol!! As soon as they finish building my house ill be on tip top shelf...but for now I have to make due with what I got ..73"s

Well it may not make a BIG difference...but if it makes a small increase im happy! As for getting the antenna up higher I agree...getting ready to stick that 160 feet of rohn 45 up any day now, im fixing to test my wife love for me when I get it up in the air and have to lay out all the guide...

OK..i am not right! I already have the Diamond X200 antenna (6db 2m) and it talks FANTASTIC at 60 feet BUT..i wanted that little "UMF" on simplex and i figured that i would get the Diamond X510 (8.3db 2m) to see if i can hear a difference with a few distand repeaters that im not really full...

Well i guess i made a fast move..it happens!! I originally was going t omount the radoi under the back seat of my 4 door chevy BUT i made a mistake when ordering the radio, i thought the mic went in on the Face of the radio..not so..goes in the body of the radio instead.. SO, i mounted it on...

Well I forgot to post some what of a update..so far I have had the kenwood little over a week and so far I am VERY pleased with its performance and style! It matches up with my larsen 2/70B very nice! I have the green light labs double sided to the back of the face with auto trim double sided...

I ordered The radio plus the Green light labs GPS unit...I sure forgot to get the RT software, I know kenwood has a free download for theres but not sure if I would like it or not!.....I better jump on that now since you mentioned it!!

Well I am a Kenwood fan...I will also be able to use and figure out the sky command when I get my TS2000 !

Well its kinda like all radios out there, both good and bad things will be said...The main thing is for me to make sure it's not a total "lemon" and has a good Rx and TX sound quality. My other option was a icom 2820 but I'm not sure if I want to join the d star band Wagon just yet..Any who we...

Well I've done the antenna install and I'm purchasing a Kenwood 710a dual bander with the Green labs Gps...anybody on here have this radio and can tell me how the audio sounds coming out of it compared to say a yaesu 8800 or icom 2820 or any of the other higher end dual banders? Any tips or...
