I wound up contacting the company that took over Celwave (RFS World) and they sent me the data sheet for the antenna. I attached it here for those interested. I'm guessing by the information they sent I could use it for working Satellites on the 400MHz frequency range? I just need to find an N...

I am wanting to build a 2 Meter Yagi and have been looking through Google at all the different articles about building different designs. To be honest, right now I'm on information overload. I saw a few that I liked and thought I might be able to handle building but I still don't know anything...

So given all that has been posted, what would the antenna be good for? Sending digital? Boom length is 28 inches Driven Element is 6 1/4 inch Reflector is 7 3/8 inch Directors are 5 5/8 inch

Today at work I was given an antenna and I'm not sure what kind it is. I'm pretty sure its a 2 Meter antenna but other than that its a mystery to me. I'm including some pictures in hopes someone might recognize it. Also, can anyone tell me what that connector is called. I just got home so I'm...

Your not Jamaican are you? :laugh:

Depending on what I'm needing I use either Digikey.com or Sparkfun.com. The reason I use these place is because another of my hobbies is Robotics and they have everything I need for that.

I'm still new and learning all of this, but have you tried using a dummy load just to verify what you are seeing with the live system? If you are able to eliminate one part of the equation and get the same result, then you can narrow down what may be the offender.

Thanks guys for the info. They have been indoors since I have had them so hopefully they are still in good shape. I will power them up from time to time as you suggest Robb.

I have a couple old CB's that were given to me years ago and I would like to try and keep them as nice as possible. I don't use either at all but was wondering what is the best way to store them and keep them nice.

Oh. LOL.:thumbup: Its funny sometimes how the translations doesn't quite work out and how things cross over.:ohmy:

Try this:Google Translate

:thumbup: Glad it all went well.

I'm wanting to get something from BestBuy because I have a credit account with them. I was looking earlier and found a CAT to USB cable for my radio so I suppose any decent laptop will do. Thanks for the info pro151. I would like to get into digital as well as attempt to learn morse code.

How so? I'm looking for something to work digital modes and possibly run Ham Radio Deluxe? Is there something I'm missing?

I'm looking to buy a Laptop and was wondering if there is anything specific or any special features I should look for in one when considering using it for Amateur Radio.

That is how I tuned my antenna. I went to the low end of 10 Meter and inserted a Dash tone to read and adjust by. I'm only a Technician:thumbup:

I was wondering what is the longest time any of you have ever left your radio on? I set mine up to scan the 10 Meter frequencies that I can talk on as a Technician and was wondering if there is some general guideline that should be followed as far as how long a radio should be left on.

I don't have a 949E. I have a 941E

I mistyped. I actually have an 897D not the 987.

I went up on the roof to turn the tuning rings that the antenna has. I just got things out of whack. It was getting late, dark, and the wind was picking up. That on top of a very long day, I just didn't have the will power for another trip. I will go back up and try to reset everything tomorrow...
