and that 2 pill palomar, he's only getting 100 watts out of it. should be getting 200-250. these are pictures on how not to setup your rig.

looks like they work the same way as the maco v quad. I think its called a delta loop. should be good for dx and local feed with a single run of feedline.

glad ya made it over clayton

"T connector at the amplifier to hookup the 2 antennas" not really a cophase setup. probably using the t connector and 2 50 ohm coax feedlines. Why? I have no earthly idea. surely cant have a good swr.

you're kidding right????????? tell me you're kidding.

oh yeah, too many times I have heard this. happened to me also. You probably lost you driver going to the 2 pills. The 200's are notorious for that.

i vote for the 5000, if you are gonna go ahead and buy new, you mine as well, better coax and bigger diameter coil. the difference is splitting hairs, but I would go ahead and pay the little difference. they are both great antennas!!

less loss in the coax, more power handling is probably why.

well, I had time to fool with it last night. I couldnt get the thing to swing consistently on 40 and 1. I also tried out the cap and resistor mod along with the mosfet, very, very low dk (like 1/5w) and swing was only about 20w. I got tired of fooling with it so I put everything back to...

how do you know these "new" 200's dont have any issues? they couldnt have been out long enough to work the bugs out of them.

well, I am no where near as knowledgable as ya'll are, but I think my main difference between the 2 was a better ground plane with the whip. I have a direct ground with the whip using ground straps from the toolbox to the frame. with the wilson all I had was a capacitance ground (using the...

i agree jim,I think who sets them up makes a good difference. Undertaker said 8541 electronics set this one up. So far I like their work. I went in and adjusted the pot inside the mic to max and just adjust mic gain now on the radio to not be a bit too hot. that seemed to help my modulation...

oh ok, whats you address??????? :lol:

yeah, it was crazy how low it was. I think I am gonna go down to the shop and get the mfj analyzer on it to see what it really is.

how do I know if its got it, or where do I go about checking on this?

i already have it removed. I have a 10k stud mount thru the toolbox and no spring. she has less lean back at highway speeds and it didnt make much difference at all on the swr on 11m. the 102" is so springy as it is, aint nothin gonna hurt it.

yep, they say the wilson 5000 is pretty broadbanded, but not near as the 102" in my findings. hell, she was below 1.5 under 11m and on in to 10m (at least where I am allowed at 28.3-28.5) what I am wondering though is what the difference made. was it the better grounding as a hard mount...

I have a magnum 257 that covers 10m and 11m. Ideally I was trying to tune 1 antenna to tune low on 10m and 11m so I could use an amp inline. I have a wilson 5000 mag mount on top of the cab of my f150. I tried and tried but couldnt get the swr good on both 10 and 11. I could either trim it...

bobby, i had the same setup at one point. the top gun to me didnt make much of a difference on the meter with the amp, maybe 5-10w more. On my tests locally the guy on the other end couldnt tell a difference. I just left mine on.
