    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    I got it done and reports are all good. Transmit and receive have both improved over the big stick type antenna that I was using.

    Capacitor for kl203 amp

    I’m looking for some help with my RM Italy 203 amp. I burnt the pf180 500v ceramic capacitor and I’m having a hard time getting that one. Could I use a silver mica pf180 500v as a replacement?

    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    Wow you guys are great at providing info! I’m going to try to get it set up this weekend. I’m going to set it up on a short mast out in the field. Hopefully I can get a reasonable swr before standing it on 40’ of mast on the roof

    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    I ordered a new SPT 500 and was wondering about adjusting swr. Is it done with the top section of the antenna or the bottom section?
