It will be going up tomorrow. I will operate my station on and off all day Sunday and let you know what if any changes I notice. After pondering the 5' differance, I'm beginning to belive it's gonna be a wash but I'm gonna go ahead with it because many who answered my (about 7 months ago) op...

Thank you for the clarification. In the case i decide to install my 11 meter wire dipole for dx'ing I will then need a switch with two inputs and 3 out puts. I know I will not be running three radios as I barely have enough room for two but on never knows. is there a Dawia that has 2-3...

My a99 peaks over my roof line by only about 5' unfourtunatly the added 5' will be leaving about 6' of the a99 below the roof line. Making the a99 still about 6' below the roof line. The antenna itself is aproximrtly 20' away from my home. I don't think this makes a difference but this is the...

Hear i go again. I need clarification. My purpose for wanting a switch is to switch between transceivers as I've only one antenna. The mfj 1700 is clearly made for the purpose of switching between six antennas and or six transceivers. The Dawia link you left for the 401 (which was much...

I'm way ahead of you. I did bid on one. It sold for a price that was $40 less than I would've paid for it, but after realizing that my turner + 3 that sounds excellent on AM but like shit on ssb (uniden Madison). I thought id try my + 2 which like the + 3 has a reputation for sounding very nice...

I'm trying to uderstand if sweep tube data sheet dissipation ratings, that I'm assuming were created many yesrs ago and mostly for the television industry reliable when the tube is being used in a transmitting application? Or does that 40 watt rating change + / - when the tube is not being...

I suspect that's why my + 3 sounds great on AM but like shit on ssb. I assume it's just my voice carectoristics. Radio tried on was my madison. My silver eagle sounds great on AM and ssb and its the mic I will use until I wire the + 2 for the madison and give it a go. I'm in no rush as I...

It's usually not the amp causing splatter but those people driving them with rigs that have had there audio limiter bypassed/clipped and then on top of that had the audio control pot turned up then to top it off had some type of snake oil swing kit installed. Amplifiers should be driven with...

I'm so glad you've brought this up. And although this should definitely be the case , it isn't. On the contrary the reson for my apprehension in switching from the a99 to the imax is I'm worried this will indeed happen. And the current a99 on what was on top of two 5' masts (less than 10' due...

It's difficult to know what's truth and more hopeful wishing. I hope and assume you've read all the other answers to my op. There all over the place and if I knew 100% for sure your results are what I'm going to see. The choice would be easy. I'd obviously install thr I max at 15' then what I'm...

This is Mike's bench. The "useless" piece of equipment in question belongs to the man who works at and owns this bench. I'd go with what the captain suggested. Which I would take to mean it will be of some use without a scope but most likly works to it's highest potential in combonation with...

Wow ! Officer Higgens is a funny MOFO! So according to officer Higgens the thieif, who most likely took the ten year generator (probubly to support his/her meth/heroin habit) should've approached the kindly robbery victim and said "dear kind sir. I heard your so kind and was wondering if you...

Hands down! Mike of mikesradiorepair@gmail.com He used to do repairs using an ebay sellers store. He stopped dealing on eBay because he simply couldn't handle all the requested repairs. You can still look him up on eBay an.see his 14.000 repairs modifications and sales with 100% feedback...

I've posted a few questions about my a99 and it's lack of hight. This is the non penetrating roof mount that my antennas mounted too. I wss told by the seller I purchased this mount from that the 5' mast that's part of the mount was not intended to have any extra masts added and it was not...

Captain. When you say "high power".. I need to ask because everyone seems to have different ideas of what high power is. One man's high power is another's mid as one's mid is one's lo. The fact these switches may not only work properly but can actually cause higher swr readings at high...

that definitely makes sense. Before I do any comparison. I'm going to add extra 5 feet of mast leaving the a 99 at the top of those four 5 foot mast. As this will be the higest hight i can go without compromising the masts in strong gusty winds. I'm going to take notice if there is any...

Your saying 'your" tornado works much better than "your " a99 and I don't doubt you for a second but this may be the opposite at someone else's qth. someone changing from their a99 to a tornado may not see the same results you did. They may find the a99 workef better for them.

Do you use one? Have you ever owned /used one? Worthy of acclamation or just piece of junk? Whatever your answer is there another antenna/radio switch that is well built and works to the specs. of the manufacturer?

I purchased the 101L and decided to get the mfj 826 B also. The price difference between the 801 hp and the 101 L was $60. I justified the mfj purchase by deducting the $60 I saved on the off the 101L purchase basically making the 826 $120. I was going to purchase the 826 anyway but not until...

Mr. Owl what might 399 bust instead of a bubble if he were ever to get a 5 hour BJ from a hot 25 year old cutie? 3!......9!.....9? "He most likely wil never know.
