Thanks again guys! It has been done. Imax 2000/GP kit, 56' to feedpoint, 20' 1" heavy wall mast covered with electrical tape from tip to tower, I then took a 12" piece of 1.25 PVC and halved it length wise and clamped it onto the mast over the electrical tape using the supplied clamps that also...

Two year later and the weekend still eludes us. What happended with the install of the GP kit?

Thanks guys! I'll start trying everything posted. It is my understanding you are to adjust the amp everytime it's turned on/warm before broadcasting. If this is correct can someone give me a crash course? It may just be operator error:blushing::unsure:

It's swinging backwards for sure, I see no dimming lights or signs of the power supply failing but it could be I suppose.

Drinking a few beers while working on snowmobiles last weekend when the chatter turned to radios, turns out my fellow sledheads dad had some old equipment laying in the attic, notice I said had Kicker 500 with new tubes, pre amp, SWR/watt meter, Regency base, Cobra 29 and Palomar 300 all for the...

Honestly I never considered the penetrater, I wanted something simple and reliable. The reviews I read seem to favor the IMAX as a good entry level antenna at a fair price so I bought one. I just want to be shure and pull all the available performance I can from the antenna I bought. With the...

The 979 would be a great choice, while not the king of the hill it is a great and very capable radio with many features the big radios have but in a smaller package and a smaller price. Be sure to buy new as the newer 979's already have mosfet Finals and seem to offer better performance than...

??? Non conductive? I'm guessing here but, you may be saying a 10' piece of schedule 80 PVC used for a mast will yield the same or better results @ 45' than a piece of isolated 35' steel tubing @ 70'?

Thank you mr_fx. I will do as you stated. The 35' mast it is. Approx 70' to feed point. I can't wait as I currently am using a 108" whip/mirror mount attached to a piece of flat stock slid between the flashing and metal roof of my garage:lol: It works ....kinda.

Placed my order today, IMAX 2000 with GP kit and 100' LMR400. This will be going on a 40' tower with length of mast yet to be determined, with that said here is my question. Why does everything I read recommend a 20' mast? Is there some scientific mathematical equasion or is it just a convenient...

Thanks for the information guys, The ones who actually contributed :whistle: I have sold a few of my radios including my S9-175 in order to finance the C4 but after reading many reviews I wish I would not have. I have narrowed it down to the Galaxy or another S9.

After the less than stellar reviews I have read on the FFC4, I am having sellers remorse from letting go of my S9. I know there are "better" radios for every individual but, Out of the two mentioned, which one would you choose?

His son will assume power and he has said he will invade Korea within 1 year. They test fired a missile just over an hour or so ago, hopefully just celebrating the dictator's death.

Sounds like a nice radio, Send it to me and I will send you a money order for the asking price when I recieve it.

Congrats on the new Magnum! Sounds like you have just what you want and the way you want it. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?:tt2: Sparky is one of the best and it sounds like he may be getting back on track. All good news here.:thumbup:

Thanks for all the info :thumbup: I'll call Davis tomorrow.

Booty, After hours of reading/research, I have decided I do indeed want that "warm fuzzy feeling":laugh:. Where would you suggest I buy 100' of the Bury Flex with Amphenol silver PL-259 soldered?

Maybe Thats just the MSRP and it sells for more., It's listed in the links you provided. MSRP: $$0.55 per foot Description: BURY-FLEXTM A Davis RF 50 ohm, 100% double shield. Bury-Flex 50 ohm RG-8 type coax MSRP: $0.59 per foot.

Thanks Booty! With the .59 / ' of the buryflex it comes in $35 cheaper per 100' than the BR-400 Sparky has listed.

Browning BR-400 Super Premium or Times LMR-400? I will be making a 100' run from shack to top of tower. Power will never exceed 500W. Nearest neighbor is 400' away. Thanks Tim
