Still it bothers me that I dont understand the answers of like 6 questions out of pool of 702 questions... I dont just want the ticket, I want the knowledge that comes along with it

well I have been scoring consistent 90-96% on the practice tests. I have been studying in between calls at work... but for the life of me some of the math is still giving me problem, mostly phase angles and junk like that, I know most of the answers to the phase angle questions, but only...

Yeah I know that... but there is NO audio needed for CW, just a simple on and off of the unmodulated carrier

well it may not matter, looks like you can not control CW using CAT, it will KEY the radio, but not produce a carrier, same thing that happens if you go into CW mode and key the MIC

I never could get DM780 to key the radio... something about network settings or some crap

Ok... So I have an 857d, and I would like to be able to operate computer controlled and decoded CW... I have NO interest at all in sending Modulated Morse Code... using VOX... so please dont suggest this. So how should I approach this? What I have: -857d -Digital out to computer sound...

well it seems to work better on the ground, dumping the coax shield directly to the steel garage, then attaching radials to the garage...

I am getting ready to build an invert L, with 160m, 80m and 40m, all on the same feed point... I have chosen a tree next to my 2 car 1 story (tall) garage... it is all steel, roof and sides... the plan is to attached radials on the ground to the entire base, along the perimeter of the...

nothing happens... maybe I need to sleep on it?

For trade: Crouse Hinds antenna beacon light fixture Model number is HL-P1810. It does not include a light bulb. But a standard 110v light bulb screws right in you will need to add your own power cord... This is a used item, but it does work. The paint is not in very good shape, the...

SO... I just was given a 2nd M2 432-9wl...

We don't need no stinkin' stitches, it's looking pretty good now, no infection, scabbed over, not hot, tender or smelly (that is the most important part...)

I now have a respectable station... HF: -Homebrew triband Vertical (built from an old Antron 99 CB antenna, some wire and a old coax) -Wilson SY-33 3 element Triband beam -about 14.5 feet long boom -nearly 30 feet wide on each of the 3 elements _So far it's held up find in...

Fellas, this antenna has been retuned and is working great, I have made several contacts, many of them well over 1000 miles, it has been up on the stack for a few months now and was on the test pole for a few months before that

Tram 1480, a 2m/440 colinear that is 8.5 feet tall

\that is what I gathered as well

Based on what DB is saying I might even GAIN something by mounting on the roof by the time you count in loss due to foliage

its not that hard really, but I was grabbing about 6 feet away on a beam, so it is a pretty big lever... the beam is rotating just fine from the control box and seems to be holding position

well it seems I have enough LMR400 to install in the oak tree as well... so how do I decide if the tree creates more problems than the benefits of being around 20 feet higher?

I have a HAM IV that is not braking... it still offers some resistance, and the teeth looked good 6 months ago... but it is clearly not braking as I can grab the antenna and rotate it by hand... NOTE: I can hear it when I hit the brake release button on the box any ideas?
