Hi all and thanks again to Bandit35 and to yourself Beetle. I asked the question as I wasn't sure if doing that ( mixing coax grades) though also knowing not to mix different Ohm types ie 75 and 50, if the loss value would be all that noticeable~ however it seems that it may not be.I still have...

Hi Robb, yeah your right its the same radio that the loop will be used with. It did cross my mind about using a desk mic but I'm also thinking about when I'm mobile. I'll check out some of the mobile mics available and decide which one that I'll get, I just think that the stock mic on this...

By the way, would there be much of a difference to my output signal on ssb if I joined rg58 with tri lan 240 both of which are rated at 50 ohm using a pl259 barrel coupler??? I take your point about having the signal as clean as possible and using the low pass filter last before I hook up to the...

Hi all, I'm considering a change of mike from the stock mike on the Anytone 5555 and as it has a live wire I dont know which mike I should get in its place. There's no urgency, it's just that I find it to be too small for comfort. I'd prefare a bigger chunkier one that I can get a good grip on...

Well now, I haven't opened up my radio and got out my screw-driver to it. Thare ain't no way that I'm gonna mess with whats inside cos I'm not a techy in any way nor would I pretend to be. There are real techs out there and if I need one then I'll go to them.I got one of the anytone 5555's and...

Hi bandit35, I wasn't thinking of running any real high power through the delta-loop. I intend to run it barefoot at first and if I get any distance around the locale say thirty forty miles radius then I'll be happy, really really happy.hOPEFULLY the harmonics will be tame enough not to cause...

Perhaps its a super dooper all bander delta loop that could be added to and transformed to a delta beam .......who knows???? Looks Very intrestin fer sure. Nice.

Thanks DXman and bandit35. It's on the shoping list after those answers. I wasn't so sure about the rg8mini ,though it seems to be the recomendation from my local contacts and price was the main factor for them. However for myself it's not price - but concern that I dont give any TVI to my...

Thanks again Robb and m42duster, I now have to find a supplier over this side of the pond.It dosen't appear to be as popular as say RG's 58 or 213 but that said I'll have a trawl and see where I go. Perhaps a marine radio supplier might be a good place to start.As regards the armored LMR 240...

Thats good info Captain Kilowatt.Lotsa nice reading there.Helpful to those of us startin on the big adventure agin......

Hi All, Has anyone used a type of coax called LMR240. I was going to get a roll of Mini RG 8 and was wondering if it was generally a solid enough performer for cb transmissions. So I went on the web and clicked on a forum from eHam net, and the subject was a question which was 'Which is better...

Hi Robb and hi m42duster, iust callin in for a quick comment. I checked the SWR readings and it read 1.1 on channel 1 and 1.3 on channel 40. I'm happy with that for sure so with more height it should do the trick. I dont know how to post a picture yet but I'll ask a friend who is more technicly...

Hi all..... Well I finally got the DELTA-LOOP put together yesterday Sunday the 20th and tried a few call outs. the usual bunch of guys weren't on so I tried a few DX shout outs but as I didn't have the antenna very high (about 14 feet or so) I got no contacts at all. I heard loads of european...

First cb radio President Andrew J 40 channel am with 5-7amp power supply and DV27 antenna screwed to a hollow steel pole and set in the gutter of the house. Got out around 4 to 9 miles with that set-up.That was around '75 or thereabouts. In the early 80's I bought a Stalker vi am ssb modded for...

Delta Loop Antenna Self Build Hi Mike, Thanks for the very detailed info. I wasn't too sure wheather or not to use bare or insulated wire but you answered that question for me. I was thinking of going for a three sided loop and had thought about needing approx twenty one feet ten inches on...

Deita Loop Self Build. Thanks Robb for getting back to me so quickly. I recently heard that the Delta- Loop was a good antenna and I thought it might be a big bucks outlay but in fact it could be put together quite cheaply. Thanks for the link to cb online. I'll just follow the instructions and...

Hi all, do any members know the measurements needed to build a delta-loop antenna for the eleven meter band that would be able to achieve low s w r measurements and that would be able to take approx fifty watts if needed to boost the tx signal ? Please help and Thank-you,
