I appreciate all the great input with trying to help me solve my antenna issues. Since the management here seems to be part of the SS, I am going to try my last resort--bought a dipole yesterday, which I hope to have this weekend. I have a tree outside which I believe may accomodate. My...

im kinda out of ideas at this point. cant put the antenna outside...cant get on the roof--think i'm just gonna get a dipole and drape it over some bushes outside. would be 4' away from building and maybe 4 or 5 feet off the ground.

Hi Doc. The coax I was referring to in the apartment...I was toying with the idea of putting a PL-259 on it and putting it to the rig. I have an antenna matcher which may or may not help. I asked around with a couple of locals regarding the idea of using the tv antenna and nobody seems to...

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. As far as putting a flag on top...inquired about it. was told an american flag is the only kind of flag permitted and it is only premitted to be hung from the flag pole bracket outside the door. No 102's allowed on the roof. and A99 was not retuned when...

I live in a 1st fl. apartment and I put an A99 on the handrail outsife about 4' off the ground and about 5' away from the building. It was working great with SWR 1.2 and getting out to the locals barefoot @ 8lbs. As expected management made me remove it. Out of options I have it zip tied to...

Thanks Mechanic. I turned on the radio and took shower. when i came back and keyed up I had modulation! I was shocked. usually with my luck it's always a problem and something complicated. in this case it was easy. thanks for your help.

I have a 148 GTL (philippines 1992 model with side mic connector). recently took it out of storage after many years to find that I can throw a carrier, receive just fine but there's no modulation. I checked out the mic and it is fine. This problem happens on AM and SSB. Tried out the PA...

if i wanted to make a dipole easy, couldnt i just get 2 pieces of RG58 (with a PL259 on the end) 8-9' long and connect then into a 'T' conector and run another piece of coax from the T to the radio? this would aleviate the wire stripping and soldering but I dont know if it would work. Sounds...

I live in an apartment (1st fl). Obviously an A-99 or anything like that is out of the question. I have been reading up on Dipoles but I can't put one up outside or across my living room - wife will freak. A local here offered me what he called an apartment (or balcony) antenna for free...

everything was working fine then in the middle of a key up I completely lost all transmit. this happened last week but TX came back in a minute. mic is wired fine. Have a single MOSFET final in there. Cannot throw carrier on AM or ssb. SWR's were fine. hoping this is not a final problem...

wondering if there are any mods out there for the Teardrop. Mic is amazing to begin with...was curious if tere's any tinkering ideas to make it better.

ok i concede this is probably a really dumb question however are there any modifications one can do to an amplifier to make it put out more wattage (specifically a Texas Star Mod V 100w)? if so where can that information be obtained.

just swapped the 2' jumper with a 6' and it flattened out the swr. double checked it with radio swr meter and paradynamics...both check out fine. i'd like to thank you gentlemen for the great input. now the only issue is getting some more power!

just grounded everything well. interestingly enough when i use the rf power knob to lower the dead key to 2w the swr's are high 2.5-3. when i up the power into the amp (dead key around 3-5w the swr's drop to arond 1.5 going to get a wilson 5000 tomorrow maybe that will help some, if not it...

I have a galaxy 959 going to a k40 magnamount on an 05 Titan. no probs, sounds good SWR 1.1:1. When I put my little Texas Star Mod V 100 watter, swr's shoot up to 2.5. Patch cord is good. Galaxy 959 --> T.S. 100 w. --> k40 swr's are perfect even with the amp inline just as long as it's...
