Eastside, that is not a low impedance mic nor is it a balance xlr. The impedance on that mic is 1000ohm, most ham radios "usually" are 250-600 which is still low impedance. Two of the pins on the four that go into the mic are pin 2, audio, pin 1, audio ground, pin 4 I believe is the ptt and pin...

Remember you had find a pay phone Remember the pager, pay phone. Finding the wifi hotspots. Now it's all there. Only if you find yourself in places where there's no wifi and you just need to browse, play or maybe not missing that important bid on new radio equipment, that it's nice to have...

I train my chickens to jump! :D

So are normally listening to the wx on the radio itself and then turning on the 9600 baud connection and the listening through the computer speakers? I guess I'm not following. Well I didn't sleep any last night either. :)

Audio doesn't need much bandwidth, just curious, where is set when it sounds the best? It is interesting that band width would make any difference.

Larry's in one of those sweet spots! :D TW350

Turbo, my thought is probably like Gary's, I'm assuming. Can you hang the balun, center, on the pole that's another antenna?? To the right in the pic. Elevate the balun as high as you can reach or simply lower the pole and mount the center of the dipole as high as you can go. Use poly rope,3/16...

You should try one with out the balun so you get a confident result. Balun isn't really necessary for a simple dipole, but it's fine as well. That way you can give yourself a pat on the back for doing one. Congrats on getting it where you're having fun. 10 has been down, with a few stations...

My member account should still be good, I haven't used it in a few years. I need to get a mic for my computer, but that's easy. Any particular nights or days?

Cool! Let us know how it does. I almost bought one yesterday, but I carried out 756proIII instead. I should've stuck with a mic, it would've been easier to explain. :D

Turbo, you used it on 11 and it worked ok, was this an attic install or temp inside to try it? Something is compromised somewhere. Where are you going to hang it when your satisfied with it? If outside, do you have a tree you could string it about 9' off the ground? Another thing do you have...

I have that one and don't like it at all, well, it's ok. I bought that one when the didn't have the hm12. A comment on the bandwidth of radios. Even thought they may not take advantage of the mic ability, the quality of the different studio mics will still be noticed over hand mics and...

Also might make sure no moisture is getting to center connections. My preference is just keeping a simple connection with single band dipoles. Twisted shield to one leg and center conductor to the other leg and seal. Nice thing about simple dipoles are usually problems are simple as well. If...

Nothing came loose at center and shorting? Pegging meter sounds as if it's shorted out. Since your legs aren't touching something. Feed line ok?

Is one leg going to center and one to ground on the 239 you're using? Is that a female 239 or are you using a barrel connector to your feed line?

Keep us updated on how it does.

Honestly I haven't had a chance to try one. I was going to, but R&L were out. It gets good reviews. Yes it has a ptt. You could get the heil cable to the four pin Kenwood etc, and the just move the wires where they need to be. That would be the cheapest of the heil selections I believe to play...

Good comment. Sometimes we'll slice, dice and dissect this way too much. If it's what you have, get it on the air and enjoy. If you worry too much and don't use it, then it's not working at all. If it doesn't work well enough for you, then start adjusting things to get it where you want it...

yeah the impedance wouldn't match, to low. It would work somewhat, but would be so low on audio and probably a little distorted. The audio circuits in a cb wouldn't do it. Most HF rigs wouldn't as well as the gain isn't designed to boost a low z mic. That's the reason for the preamps and eq's as...

Jeff did I take it correct from that article they couldn't hold Ranger since the FCC engineers could not validate a difference between their radios and the multi bands from the big manufactures? I had purchased a new style 2970n2 not long ago that had issues and sent to them. I requested they...
