What engine do you have? The problem seems to have started with the newer Acert Cat engines. Not all experience the same level of RF interferance.
Mine is really bad around 5 S units under load.
I believe each and every pos. and neg. injector wire must be shielded at the source, meaning...
Well like I said the Stryker in the older Pete with a 1992 400 cat was fine, although I have the Mofset recieve mod. In the newer Cat 15 Acert motor well it's normal except when the manifold gets over 20 lbs. By the way these newer Cats get 50 lbs pressure. I have switched radios and they...
821.. One Stop. Franks a good guy. I have dealt with him in the past. Not sure of the tech work comming out of his store though. Looks like DTB is the man now. I know thats where I'll be going if I have problems. FGBest is another good store, it where Justin used to work.
Sleepwalker....Ya big bummer. Pretty much have given up. I went the Cat coporate route too with Huh what noise we havent't heard of any problems. I haven't tried the Radio Shack part # 273-105 on each pos. and neg. injection wire yet. DTB radio tip. Seems some engines do it worse or just a...
Keep, did you get the Tech Choice tune? My buddies swung backwood at all power settings, 6 watts low DK and pegging 30+ DK by just cracking the variable up a bit. Talk back hummed when opened a tad with mic set at 9. sounded like crap on recieve end of it transmitting at any setting. My...
I have the Stryker and am totally satisfied with it. Justin did the work. I do have RF noise from the big Cat engine, like 5 S units worth under acceleration. Same radio with not the problem in my older mechanical big truck motor. No it's not the Stryker it's the Tech's Choice Tune!!!, as...
Seems like the above link could be directed to the other forum. Buddy of mine just recieved a Stryker with Tech Choice tune. Garbage, totaly unuseable radio. Who ever set this radio up doesn't have a clue whatsoever about how to make this radio talk, let alone work. Really said that this...
Now that's one hell of a QDC. Your'll find the 10K will out perform the Wilson, especially in the RX dept. TX I feel is more even. I will be interested in your evaluations.
frmboyuck, I never would of imagined that. Like I said destroyed mounts, stingers yes, coils no. But then I haven't tried to peel off the coil plastic cover via the top mask either. Probably take the stack out too. I believe that in the vast amount of anternna damanged cases the Wilson coil...
Wilson coils are bullet proof. If around over head cat works with diamond like grid be sire to remove antenna or cut off the static ball. That little ball gets caught and it will tear the antenna right of the mount, although I have never seen a coil damanged. They just fade in color.
Just a heavy coiled bottom shaft with a long stinger on top. Not an open coil.
Like I have said before, this is one poor antenna for many reasons. I usually don't bash things but in this case I fell for the hype and it sucks.
Astatic 3K
They suck.The antenna is heavy and has poor quality top mast for stinger, set screws stripped out real easy.
And more to the point failed big time in a comparison test with the 10K.
Buy it and your be sorry.
Forward is the power output. Reflect is the watts reflected back towards the radio, not going out the antenna. A well tuned antenna will have less reflected watts than and untuned antenna. Where the two neddles cross is the swr , it's read on the swr scale. Usually you can read both swr and...
Turning up the power is one thing. TX and RX Alinement procedures reguires, scope,and tone generator, plus your usual RF power meter. By the way the Spectral Analizer is nice too. Just like an old bike that has been abused, it still works, but how well.
