    Building a 5/8 wave antenna

    ok so if i use a 5/8 ground plane and vertical radiator it would be balanced and then the ground plane would make a difference. so your saying the only balanced antenna is one with equal length on the counter poise and the main radiator. if that was true then why do multi element beams...

    Building a 5/8 wave antenna

    ya i read it. i see the differnce now. looks like if you lived in a valley you would want to sweep them down. still dont understand why it only changes the match on a 1/4 wave and not on a 5/8.

    Building a 5/8 wave antenna

    all you have to do is slope the radils down to about 45 degrees. then you wont need a matching network. you can also for this use a 1:1 balun, or a small dollar match air coil from main radiator to the ground side. without some type of matching devise you will have your coax radiating/CMC...

    rci 2970 echo board

    i never said hack the board. just i know most of the echo mics have the same board hes trying to install right in the mic. so why take aprt your radio and unsolder the lead to the board look for voltage ect. when you can just plug in a mic.

    rci 2970 echo board

    RCI 2995dx

    unfortunately i do remember that place and the left over places still around that are made up of those people. but i would just plug that 2995dx in and run it. its all surface mount. should be just fine. they probly didnt do anything to it. dont go trying to fix something that isnt broken.
