had to use a double male connecter to hook up a rf choke at the antenna feed of a imax..is this ok or will it need a sealent..if so would a spray stop leak type of thing do ?
Recieved my MFJ - 915 RF ISOLATOR today..the instructs say ''the rf isolater should be placed close to the transmitter'' and also it says '' install the rf isolater by connecting the coax cable from your antenna to one end of the isolater . '' connect the other end of the isolater to the...
thanks Molculo..the speaker has tone controls and sounds real nice but i was concenred about the pug into socket part..we,ll see what appens..has anyone ever tried to tap into the speakers from a'' bose radio '' ? ya know alot of them radios has a extra speaker jack on the back of them..
you gotta watch runnin a amp with a magnum also..alot of people have burned up a lot of amps with these radios..you can get em to dk 1 watt but they still swing at least 30..very touchy clarifiers also..almost impossible to clarify in the mobile..much better drift wise though than a galaxy . if...
no,,i mean the radial system placed directly on the ground..several wire 36 foot radials laid flat on the ground like the spokes of a wagon wheel and connected directly to the ground rod at the base of the mast .
ya er nay ? getting a new coax with a choke balun..its a imax 2000 with gpk..should i isolate the antenna from the metal pole er leave it metal to metal ? i,ll be running a seperate ground wire down from the antenna to ground rod at the base of the mast .
Medina,,no,its not a new imax,its a new coax,..i just forget how the rings worked,its been so long since i tuned it i figered if i asked here i might save myself a few trips up and down the ladder adjusting the swr..
ordered new coax for the imax2000.in order to save time ,anyone remember how the tuning rings work ? does turning the rings up lengthen or shorten the antenna ?
thanks doc..i wasnt thinkin bout a premade coax one..i thought they made a connecter type thing that would hook up to the antenna lead..anyway with that i wouldnt need bout 8 feet of extra coax..
its time for a new coax for the imax with gpk but instead of winding a coax choke this time i want to order a premade choke..what exactly do you call them and bout how much they run ?
Boy this opens a can o worms..ok,, what if you get the exact lengths of cable and get a perfect swr,,then you change a jumper cable to a different size and your swr changes,,,,what now ?
