hey moleculo remember this post this sums it up quite well.or the one a few posts up.how about this pep=avg power*2.66

its a real good way to sell radios 10 real watts in voila 30+pep out SOLD!

this is it guys no more pep! that is the best post i have read on this site!thank you.too bad its so hard to convince people that average power is correct and accurate!

agree to disagree.but thanks for the input and 73s

wrong they are not pep measurements on am frequency is pointless,incorrect,and inaccurate by 2 to 3 times and for your information your pep switch in your meter has a 50 volt capacitor to it thus capacitor watts! have you ever noticed that when using am to check your pep readings the needle...

so how many watts is it doing average or in the real world not PEP capacitor watts!

pep pep pep pep there is no pep yes this is false advertising and is probably working very well since most guys these days actually think that the PEP reading there getting is the output.

oh my god there is still intelligent life out here lol.great response thank you!

hey now 38-42 watts awesome thank you for listing that even though it does not mean much?lmao all these guys doing this mod are reading there am radios in pep- pep definition (poor-exaggerated-pathetic)some of you clowns actually think this 10$ transistor is doing 130-140 real watts wow!yes dont...

unscrew the top and check end to end and center to ground with multitester on continuity.

have you allways owned this radio?did it seem to receive good before?did anybody work on it?

i had a dipole up about 6 months ago after my imax 2000 fell down i duck taped a piece of bamboo to the top of my mast at a 90 degree angle and hung it vertical with a small plant hook and some fishing line at the bottom to keep it straight.it was about 35-40 ft up and worked very well i was...

marconi i am not being snipy a flat line is a 1.0 not 1.1 a 1.0 perfect swr hope this clears something up!

hey marconi i think we are on the same page now i was not a big fan of the maco up till now but i will give it a chance now thanks for the responses i think i will try a top hat and see if it works out. 73s my freind and thanks again.

cdx thats one of the best responses i ever read!i am using a v5/8 right now but had an imax up before this but the wind took her down.before the imax i had an antron 99 with ground planes up an the imax was 2db better on tx and rx without the ground planes.the maco is an ok antenna but its no...

i could never get it under 1.3 before at the dip but very happy now.now i am thinking of making a top hat for it like the old avanti 101s and the i-10k.by the way c2 that was a pretty neat plot table you made there! 73s guys happy dxing

ok guys let me try this again when i said flat line i was talking about a 1.0 so when i check it the needle in the meter appears to be broken not a 1.1 a 1.0 or what i call a flat line or perfect swr !

:lol:good job homer that was funny i had an imax 2000 up with a flat match on at least 2 bands of 40 but thats got a tuning coil.hey i will remember that if any of my radio buddies tell me there match is flat i will tell them there must be something wrong lol. the maco is 40ft to the base with...

sorry for the confusion guys my flat line was for the frequencys i listed not all bands this was on an external meter.the dip came out at 27.475 thats where i wanted it.26.865-1.8,26.965-1.6,27.385-flat,27.475-flat,27.555-flat,27.855-1.4 and 28.005-1.8.i could have checked it to 2.1 but i dont...

well hello again with some fine tuning of the tuning ring,radiator and tap point i was able to achieve flat line on those same bands and also made my antenna more broad banded by 3 bands of 40.i do not want to sound cocky but i do not like a 1.3-1.4 match and my antenna was not workable before...
