cannon. i dont solder a connector every time. i cut, skin the coax. stick the center in the so connector and hold the ground to the threads. reguardless if im toutching the ground i get the same reading with a connector on.
when you turn down the dk on a 4300-300 the output cuts back also. the one we have does 150 rms and 300 peak from a 10 w dk, which would make it perfect drive for a 6 pill. 8 pill would smile all day long
50 w dk gives about 200 rms and 400 peak. talks at 350 easy. aaaa 395 saved :)
mine works well on the base. you can tune the recieve by following the pot adjustment order from cb tricks, just by watching the needle, then cut back L2 and L3 1/3 turn to cut back white noise and you will be extreamly happy.
i added a second driver transistor ( normal is one ) extra 4 transistors so total of 24. if i use a battery charger to top off the batts overnight i can hold 19 volt. but only for about 10 seconds. then 17 tops.
it was better when the batts were new. as they get used they loose some of...
cannon to be honest if it said 50 ohms or 58 ohms i doubt that anyone would hear a difference on the other side. its more so the amps are as happy as can be. there is a change in reflection when your on your centered channel, and your at 50 or 58 ohms.
a semi local here george forman does his...
btw for clarity, i did not adjust swr by tripping the coax. the stinger length was set by the mfj and fine tuned with the bird meter. then coax is adjusted in length to read 50 ohms where i wanted it to. stinger length rechecked with the bird meter. maybe a slight adjustment ( 3/16" max )...
well what ever mfj reading i have, the resutls are fact. If it was a load i wouldnt be able to transmit as well as I do. roll into dc on ch 6 and lock it down is easy. and there were some big dogs out there today also.
also tried a mr coily tonight. same basic results with the mfj so its a...
line up then
and ill chop ya up.
local amp builder thoguht his 24 pill was bad till i sent him to the swamp( with a 16 pill ) both one antennas both on vans
with further playing on the coax page ( link ) the basic std "18ft" is only correct with a .66 velocity factor. those of us that run coax with a .85 velocity factor require a different length.
so coax length can matter
sorry for the time away from the post.
Cannon no i wasnt lieing.
X was 0 from 1 to 40
ch 1 was 49 ohms ch 40 was 53 20 was 52
the other factor to get to the 50 ohms is ground plane.
this is easy to test yourself. and most know this already. take a wilson mag mount. for instance a...
