    MAGNUM 257 HP Review

    i'd love to find a new 257 HP but they everyone seems to be out of stock. is the demand that high is there something else going on.

    LOL if i could do that I wouldn't need you.

    gamma on a mobile ?

    I've avoided it, my system is like yours, pushing almost 2kw and I've got a lot of wiring harness in the headliner of the burb. I don't want to splatter any more rf around that than I already do. The other issue is, I don't run a single antenna system. I have a drive around 102" whip and a...

    dude seriously go read a book... why do you need everyone to spoon feed you information. asking questions is one thing but you're like the kid who just keeps saying why. Get a copy of the ARRL Antenna handbook and start there. Lot's of other good stuff out there once you're comfortable with...

    gamma on a mobile ?

    That's an interesting setup but you've kind of made my point. 6.0 asked if this could be done to handle 2kw Shockwave said yup do it on the outside feed it between the puck and antenna. 6.0 said cool wonder if I could just tap it into the puck. I said nope - not tall enough. You said "I don't...

    Amp coax jumper length

    It doesn't help... that is a two part statement. If you have the means to model the transmission line (and can do the coax ends etc) cut it at the right length to give you the 50 ohms on the input side - this of course is a "within reason" statement. If the amp is wtf off that isn't going to...

    Amp coax jumper length

    I think I said 1/2 wave length, not 18ft which for most coax - when you adjust it for velocity - is more than half a wave length. When I was reffering to the use of the 1/2 wl jumper it was just to present a "non-transformed" impedance to the radio. Coax that is electrically 180 degrees long...

    what positivity are contributing? please show me the information you have that supports your thoery.

    Amp coax jumper length

    Booty if I'm wrong then please show me some transmission line theory that proves it. Not what you're friends have told you but some honest to God research that shows I'm wrong. You wanted a sample, I gave it to you, you insist on taking it out of context so please by all means, show me...

    Booty isn't learning... he's just arguing for God only know's why. He asked for an example, I gave it to him but he's still moaning like he just had his cherry picked. Why do you all put up with him?

    kernal error

    def get a liveCd of some sort and get the data recovered before the thing takes a dirt nap. once they start clickin' it's a completely different ball game.

    Amp coax jumper length

    The transmission line in the example I gave has nothing to do with an antenna tuner and it woudn't matter if it did. Coax is it's own system... how the fock did you get so dense. This shows exactly how little you know about this stuff and why you shouldn't be giving advice to anyone. Read CK's...

    Amp coax jumper length

    where was I wrong - you said I didn't have a leg to stand on, implied I don't know what I'm talking about. Said I was skeered to give you proof. I gave it to you and now you're still crying. The point is, there are two different lines of thought on this subject - and you constantly repeating...

    This is why you're a tool... when someone actually presents you with what you asked for you still squawk what others say. If stupid hurts, you must be in agony.

    ARRL Guide to Antenna Tuners. Chapter 7 Transmission Lines Page 7-4 "There are some interesting special cases with a mismatched line. The load impedance, resistive and complex, repeats evey "half-wave", for example. The impedance goes to the opposite extreme in odd multiples of...
