2dB attenuation with 50 watts from the radio would leave you with 31.5 watts at the antenna. So you're losing 18.5 watts... This is why you hear all the fuss about lossy coax, people want all the power they can get at the antenna. As far as your question goes... run what you have. I have run...

Tony, I am interested in your Polaris Indy Storm 800 snowmobile listed on Craigslist. I am currently occupied with other business matters but will gladly send you a Western Union for $175,000 Euro of which you can collect the full amount of the item as well as any shipping charges incurred and...

yeah windows media player is a joke even if you add codecs. I knew when I replied that a lot of people would suggest VLC, granted VLC is good but I have ran across things that it wouldn't play while media player classic would. I got rid of VLC in 2008 and haven't looked back

for what it's worth, I've used media player classic for years. I haven't seen anything that it won't play. get it with the k lite codec pack.

Yup, and they have more b+ and on xformers that really don't sag ;) still i find it so funny how the calculator doesn't lie. I've amazed people time and time again with Ohms law It might be different in your neck of the woods but here in Alabama most people don't know the difference between...

funny how the math in the closed thread seems to match up very close to the videos average reading.... things that make ya go "hmmmmm"

sounds like the famous "Super Modulator with variable power" nothing but a cap and resistor and some wire to the delta tune pot. Man there was a LOT of money made off that mod lol

Just like fnkycoldmedina said, a "little bit" of reverb works to help you get noticed. The old timers called it redundancy, and it will get you through a pile up. As far as echo goes, it's only good for annoying everyone on the frequency.

:D

if it's new as in the past 10 years new, then it's really commscope. there was one hell of a takeover back around 2000 where andrew bought up all of its suppliers as well as a few tower companies as well as some of american tower properties. then some american tower employees that were part of...

ahhh so it was used, the stuff I was referring to was brand new that got thrown away. you saw some outfit that got paid to do a changeover and they replaced lines and antennas and scrapped the copper. I've done that a few times

It could have been some of the leftover REAL andrew heliax from before commscope took over. I know that right before crown castle took over andrews shelter division, the shelter plant in newnan georgia dumped ALL of their heliax in dumpsters... along with several overloaded pallets of...

If I understand you correctly, you're wanting to ditch the magnet mount so if you'll need something like this..... there are a few other options like if you wanted to roof/trunk mount it NMO style also. anyway, take a look here

Tell Bennie Thanks for the parts layout Tell Bennie Thanks for the component list And / Or this one too ;)

I'll have to search on another forum, but there is someone who makes several different styles of brackets that do just what you want. The few people that use them, brag about them. And they even make a style that bolts in place using the factory tail light screws. Off to search through a couple...

At least the seller is truthful about his coil. As soon as I saw the picture, the first thing that popped in my head was "inefficient", then while reading his description he says it isn't as efficient as larger coils, which is very true. Then he goes on to say that it has "good gain" which is...

Henry,one of the best guys you could ever talk to, temporarily retired. He now builds stuff when he feels like it. I own the last 6160 coil he built before he retired. Richard sweet talked Henry out of full time retirement and is selling bugcatcher parts and accessories through his store in...

I run 160m and 75m mobile with an 857 and an original bugcatcher with no tuner, just a lot of tap points. Everyone always asks why I don't get a screwdriver so I wouldn't have to get out and tune.. well I don't wander too far from my freqs and I prefer the bugcatcher over a screwdriver. so if...

it wont hurt a steel whip if you were to use plain ol' spray paint, matt black or black primer, as long as you don't cover the threads with paint. now painting a fiberglass antenna with a rattle can is a different story, especially if you use white. I learned the hard way that gloss white has...
