good work boomer, and ill agree. birds are the best but your meter is doing uyou justice, and your attention to detail and doing it right is what got you there. glad to see you got it nice and low. its nice when the hard work pays off doesnt it?
never can ground to much :)
thats correct. not only do i tune the antenna, but also the coax for the freq im centering on. also not all antennas tune as well as others. a 55 wouldnt tune as well on the van at the coily or 10k
psych. we need to change your screen name to tea bag.
you have shown to have zero knowladge of a real system. you mearly quote what you have heard. i could care less what bb davemade x force fatboy mr coily monkeymade or any other person on the planet has for reflection. stop having your...
i just did a keydown with some local channel people. we did a 2 pill. mainly for bragging rights. it was fun but not something im going to build my system for
hillbilly, i would try to get it lower, your running an amp. lower swr will aid in amp longevity.
as for the meter its showing you both the fwd and reflected power as the gross total. 200 w fwd and 25 w reflected is 225. 200 w fwd and 5 w reflected shows 205. is the final output, less...

ok dr brain damage. why dont you laborate whats silly about checking reflection witha 5 w slug.
lets see.... you cant use less since modulated it will be more then 1 w. a 25 w slug wouldnt be acurate enough.
also my percentage of reflection at full modulation at 4000 bird out is .0004...
if it has talkback, and doesnt have a switch dont go power mic, unless its the extream 2018, then you would also have echo. and by all means dont go dm452
otherwise go rk56
my 2 strykers do 20rms from a 2 w dk. turn up the dk to 5 w and i get oh about 26 rms my friend has his max dk at 15 and it does into the 30's rms And yes it is still perfectly clear and loud, mic at 3 oclock with his voice and mic choice
i have his 10k and its nice. mine and another in town both are great and tune very well!!!!!!!
i like the pic he has where the 10k is ontop of the beam. got me thinking.
what do you think of that idea
