    Marconi testing the Sigma4 vs. Gain Master

    You have a valid point with testing with one antenna, but again the miniscule difference isn't going to be seen with his S-meter collecting more useless data in this regard is like :bdh: . I thought we already went over that chapter? Relying on others to get a accurate test isn't the way I...

    Marconi testing the Sigma4 vs. Gain Master

    I guess one way to do it is with both antennas up check the swr , if you have a analyzer that would give you more indepth numbers than a swr bridge that would be better. Check swr of antenna 1 with both antennas up, lower antenna #2 check swr, Put up antenna #2 and lower #1 and check again...

    Marconi testing the Sigma4 vs. Gain Master

    [=Henry HPSD;262366]Hello Guys, It is already a known fact that if antennas are too close to each other they will have influence. This is not always measurable with a SWR meter. The "rules' for antenna measuring is you put several wavelengths between them. Yes, i know that is "a wide...

    102" whip vs the rest

    Do you just post without reading or do you just like taking up bandwidth? Even though you were actually trying to be a ass you just confirmed what I said. I was asking the question to a specific person who made a statement regarding the 102". Thanks for playing.

    Marconi testing New Top One vs. Gain Master

    Homes, I understand what you are trying to say you look for different benefits of each antenna so to speak... Worst part is the Ap just happens to be a different style antenna why couldnt it be like any other GP and fed from the bottom, we wouldnt be going back and forth. I digress

    102" whip vs the rest

    I see you been reading my posts, all ready made these points. Me? I am not having a problem with any type theory I think you are a little misguided as to who needs the theory lesson. You are stating facts I have already made sorry your a little late to the party. Perhaps you need to...

    Marconi testing New Top One vs. Gain Master

    You keep saying the AP was designed to be used at 60' So the AP is no good at 90' or any other height besides 60' ? what happens when they are mounted lower? Put the Astro Plane on the ground next to the V4k and test them and neither will perform to it's potential but one will outperform...

    102" whip vs the rest

    I would like to know did you say this or not? If those arent your words whose are they? Where did you get this info ? I retrieved them from a post you made. "Designed to enhance signals and thus giving 20% better modulation with the big beefy coil at all power levels. "

    102" whip vs the rest

    Well you can't come out here making claims then not expect to get called on them, he said a antenna provided 20% more audio gain, but the best part is that was a advertisement from the manufacturer...LOL ok well turn our attention to you, I can see an advantage being you can't use a tall...

    12v to 16v

    Really, well how about you tell us what is realistic for a Class C amp at 14 volts. I was actualy a little light I have seen 1x2 pills do over 1.2 kw Pep at 20+ volts. And yes that is into a antenna or dummy load and yes the first harmonic was 50 db down. And no it wasn't driven with anything...

    12v to 16v

    I dont think you got laughed at for saying a 6 pill will do 1200 watts, I think you got laughed at for sayin you want to drive 500 pep to achieve 1200 pep. Now thats funny shit. I am not bragging at all, you came out here like piss and vinegar telling us all how to do it. I also dont need a...

    Marconi testing New Top One vs. Gain Master

    What I find humourous is you and Eddie :bdh::bdh: about how people are somehow making the Astro Plane some how have a disadvantage and you want to rewrite how antennas are compared to one another. You seem to somehow forget this a critical fact about antennas, take a 5' coil antenna which is...

    Shockwave if you are happy with the 102" in your tailpipe then thats the best antenna.

    12v to 16v

    Thats the whole point a 3 pill into a 6 pill isnt efficient. you drive a 1x2 with 8 watts it is gonna do 500 pep on stock volts. driving that into 6 pills isnt efficient, swinging from 1.5 watts to 8 watts is gonna splatter like a pig, listen to those of us who have done this for years you have...

    12v to 16v

    You were seeking input then came out telling us all we are wrong. Just cause you think it worked great is subjective, using 2-2290's would make it work better, last longer and sound better. You can say what ever you like, you came for input you got it now you don't like what you are hearing...

    102" whip vs the rest

    I asked you one and am waiting for your answer so I guess were even, Will Doc's answer make your reply different? or perhaps you wont disclose your "Real World Test procedure" for fear of ridicule? Perhaps you should have posted what you dont agree with Doc's statement, again fear of ridicule...

    102" whip vs the rest

    It may not but have you ever tested to see if it did? Ever see a Honda Gold Wing with a 1/4 wave antenna mounted 3' off the ground out perform a suburban with a 1/4 wave antenna mounted on the roof?. This wasnt done in a back alley there were hundreds of people around at a keydown...
