I been away from CL for awhile and now it seems to display differently on my screen.
I can only see the first page. (most recent)
No scroll bar to mouse over, scroll wheel does nothing, page up/down does nothing.
Anybody experience similar to this?
Any ideas or suggestions I should do/try.
Sounds like risky business to me.
The detector diodes in the MFJ are very sensitive and using it to troubleshoot/tune an amplifier is just about the best way to damage the MFJ.
There are better methods for doing what you want. ( although I am not exactly sure what that is )
Some of these...
I would say yes to answer your question.
Talking from a mobile to a base 20 miles away on AM with a 12 watt radio indicates to me that the antenna is working well or the base stations have exceptional abilities. ( your choice )
Someone in China will start making them.
They will be made from the neighbors old toyota, your uncles front porch metal glider swing, stolen bicycles and a sprinkle of commodore 64 dust.......lol
Where did you buy the part?
Also, if you don't mind me gettin' in your business: How much for the part?, How much for S&H, and how long did it take to get it after you placed your order?
Curious; Did the part stay stuck to your iron when you got it free of the board?
Maybe you would explain...
CB TICKS IS AWSOME.
Unbelievable quantity and quality of information available.
It ain't got it all, but darn ner't.
Invaluable.
Good job Robb.
I went there and seen that the power supply was represented by a block on the diagram and gave up almost immediatley and decided not to pursue it...
I am not sure if we answered all the questions that were present with this thread, but it seems like you are satisfied with the results you have obtained.
I, myself, was concentrating on the more obvious aspects of the details associated with this thread.
I am surprised that this turned out...
Yes.
Cut it to electrically corrected 1/2 wave lengths and take the loss in the ladder line. (could very well be less than the matched loss of anything but the very best coaxial cable)
And yes to the 9:1 balun.
But I have come up with something else that is entirely practical and feasible...
It was not indicated in his post that there was any change in any of the conditions of the antenna; Antenna is a unchanging variable in his test.
While I agree that the agreed upon value assigned to a Sunit is supposed to be 6 db in some cases, (some radio manufacturers might have disregarded...
The test results are 'bassackwards' anyway.
The results are counter-intuitive.
His test indicated that the RG8x gave the stronger Smeter reading of the two cables?!?!?
I think it needs to be retested 'cause the first test results are inconsistent with what is expected.
I would test the radio with a carrier without any modulation unless you use FM.
It would be best to do the test with a radio upon which no adjustment to the power level is possible. ( just to rule out that factor as a variable)
Maybe if you have a cb radio that has a fixed out put you can find...
2 S units is a lot.
Is he able to tell you why the RG-213u would work better with an Antron 99 than the CXP1318FX?
Is the friend that report the 2 S unit signal loss the same friend that tested the CXP1318FX cable?
Do you know by what method he used to test the new coax?
Since I have no clue...
Sometimes when I am feeling humerous I type humerous remarks in reply to someones post and then after giving it more thought decide that it might not be well received. (even though I think it is hilarious)
I was wondering how you can retract a post.
Sometimes it won't cooperate and sometimes...
The people south of the border have some crazy roger beeps.
Are you wanting three different tones, like the phone companys 3 tone ( I'm sorry the number you are trying to reach in no longer in service) like something a little musical or would a Roger K beep suffice.?
