    I did a web search for the purpose of trying to assist you in resolving this issue and found some information that might shed some light on the problem you are having with the antenna. The following is a link to that website and an excerpt from that website...

    noise to signal ratio

    "Maximum Recovered Audio" and "Best Signal to Noise Ratio" don't occur at the same tunning adjustments at the front end. It is best to tune for Best Signal to Noise Ratio and that is what the SINAD meter lets you do. Remember to use the least amount of signal level from the generator that will...

    imax 2000 with or without?

    My two cents worth. My friend has a Imax 2000 and I advised him to install the radial kit. After he installed the kit he reported to me the everybody stayed the same on the S-meter, but, he was able to hear better on the weak stations because the radial kit reduced the noise level. Might not...

    Is a Magnum 257HP an overkill for a Texas Star 667V?

    I would recommend a straight 4 pill or straight 8 pill. No driver stage needed.

    SWR?

    Well that was my guess, but you never know for sure what the situation is unless you look at it with your own eyes. Other wise you might have to ask a zillion questions. The other person that posted about the cable could be right; I guess I never considered the cable but it is possible. I was...

    SWR?

    Hey....what's the switch for? Is that a blue light in the display.....kinda looks like it has a blueish glow to it.

    SWR?

    Somewhat of a puzzler. The only thing I can think of is the carrier is turned way down. Or there is something wrong with the radio.

    SWR?

    The line section in a VHF meter is shorter than one in a HF meter and will be less sensitive at HF frequencies. Maybe the dead key in the radio has been turned way down and it has a swing kit in it. I would think that there should be enough response to get the needle to move when in forward...

    SWR?

    DELETE Never mind My bad

    SWR?

    It will read watts but will not move the needle when you have it on swr mode and the switch is set to 'forward' and the calibrate control is set max clockwise?

    SWR?

    Not eveyone might be familiar with your wattmeter. I tried to look it up on the net and could not find anything about W2-6200. Does your SWR meter have a FWD (forward) and REV or REF (reverse or reflected) switch on it? It will read watts but will not move the needle when you have it on swr...

    SWR?

    When you say that it won't let you calibrate should I assume that you mean that the needle moves but not enough to acheive the calibration mark? Or are you saying that the needle does not move at all.

    Bird 43 w/ PEP Question

    The original design goes back some years ago. And it was originally designed with a single ended op-amp that required a +- 9 volts power source to meet the needs of the circuit design parameters. But a long time has passed since the original design and better op-amps have come along and...
