    Mobile End Fired Phased Array Antenna

    But just off the top of my head, isn't the set-up for that mobile array something along the lines of 1/4 wavelength spacing and being fed 180* out of phase? Not motivated enough to look it up.....

    Mobile End Fired Phased Array Antenna

    Personally, I'd save the $3.99 and put it towards the ARRL antenna handbook. It covers all you need to know about phasing antennas plus a helluva lot more......;)

    The way I heard it, the panda walked into a whorehouse, did his business, and left w/o paying. The punchline is "panda: eats bushes and leaves"........ But what do I know......

    Does something like this give you any ideas? https://www.breedlovemounts.com/ham-radio-so-239-antenna-mount.html I did something similar with a Breedlove QD mount and tri-mag mount for a Predator 10K.

    Squire 100 "Bi Linear" "Amateur Amplifier"??

    The "Bimbo" variant I have is almost identical to this one, the only difference I can see is mine has the stud-mounted PT9784A's. Like I said previously, the only problem I ever had was one of the 4 relays needed replaced. All in all, it hasn't been the worst El-Cheapo amp I've ever owned.

    Does he also work at a fast-food place? I went through the drive-thru the other day and ordered a burger with "no cheese". The kid says "Okay. Do you want cheese on that?". :confused:

    Squire 100 "Bi Linear" "Amateur Amplifier"??

    I have the Bimbo model, uses a pair of TRW PT9784 stud-mounted finals. I've had it installed in a number of vehicles since the mid-70's and only ever had to replace a relay. the Hi/Lo switch on the Bimbo is labelled PEP/RMS and IIRC was switchable between 130W/90W output, but don't hold me to...

    Amcomm HB 140 "Penetrator" amp info?

    If they are TRW PT9784's, they indeed are stud-mounted. I have an old amp from the 70's with a pair of them in it.

    Cushcraft TS-1 Trik Stik Antenna

    It's nothing more than a dipole made from aluminum tubing. I've had a couple of them floating around here since the early 70's. Back then, a few of us locals got them to run horizontally in an attempt to avoid the vertically polarized hash and trash.

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    Actually, two. Mine arrived Saturday. The only thing I can report is that it works out of the box on my mic tester, but so far I like what I hear.

    New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

    I have one on order, but I don't have any way to sweep it to test the freq. response. I'm figuring if I don't like the sound of the standard element, I can swap it out for for one of the many other ones on the market, such as the Panasonic WM-61 for instance.
