    Antenna install "Lesson Learned"

    So 2 weeks ago I put up a Sirio 1600. Very impressed with the quality and flat SWR over such wide range of frequencies. Then 2 weeks later the SWR went to hell. Looked up and noticed the top section dropped into the 2nd section so obviously the reduced length was the issue. Brought it all...

    Sirio Gainmaster .625 New in Box

    Sorry about that but $100.00 plus shipping which averages about $25.00 so $125 that online goes close to 2 hudry ($200.00)

    11 meter is very quiet?

    So is there any logic to the #'s they run on 38L? I understand the logic of international 4 digit #s but 38L is more like 19 AM of old and most are 3 digit.

    Odds are a better option since in Italy they are using FET's instead of Chinese transistor that burn up if SWR is not near perfect on every channel.

    FS: ICOM IC-7000 "BRAND NEW" Mars modded

    Off the market. I decided to try it out. It's a keeper. The DSP and notch filter are amazing so it's going SSB mobile and 2 meters. I fell in love with another radio. "Damn it"

    Why not 1446's?

    It looks like anyone building with them they are also HG so maybe they are no better or worse then the current crop of 2879's

    Why not 1446's?

    With the concern over HG DEI 2879's, would 1446's and AB bias be a worthy option?

    Amplifier help

    So is it best to stay away from builders such as Carl, Hopper and their B bias amps? I hate C amps but from your experience and expertise, with the curent crop of transistors that may be the only option in having an amp built. Sounds like a C amp and an external low pass filter may be as good...
