Thank you

Looking for opinions on a replacement microphone for a 2970N4. Mobile application not base station.

One last thing to do and I’m not doing it till I get home is get that cover put back on the bed Capt don’t have the tools to do it here. Got to do it as soon as I get home

Here is the picture of the Mount and whip adjuster. The readings may be a little bit different because I’m doing it at a different location. I was in a middle of a field nothing around me. Even in the area that I’m at now everything seems to be really good. I used it yesterday and all of my...

I got the whip adjuster and installed it today tuned the antenna to resonance on my frequency I use most. x=0 Swr 1:1.5 Phase 180 deg Ohms 34 I know that’s a little low. This thing screams now. I really appreciate everyone’s help it’s been a great learning experience. It was worth every ounce of...

Installed the whip adjuster. Had to cut about 3 inches off the bottom of whip. 1.50 swr X=0 Phase 180 deg Ohms 38 I know it’s not the 50 but this thing screams. Thanks for all the help. I enjoyed every drop of sweat I put into this setup.

It’s a 10” whip adjuster Dave made from rfjunk. It will be nice to adjust the antenna. Hopefully going home after 2 months. I let them know that and they shipped it next day air. This project has been a great learning experience. The people here are amazing. I’m no electrician or don’t know much...

Geotool mount.

Analyzer is hooked up in the cab of the truck where it plugs into the radio. I did try a shorter piece of coax at the antenna. Same results. It’s the same mount I started with I just replaced it with the one that does not have a short in it. The mount measures 3 inches from the top of the plate...

I totally understand. If these post help one person it’s successful. Between bonding the truck and doing as much research as possible. K0bg is awesome. For some reason after I read it still hard to understand. I’m more of a hands-on person. I will get this thing I’m not going to let it beat me I...

This is it. Doesn’t explain any of the values or anything. Power of the Internet I’ve been doing and digging and looking. Ordered the AARL.

I’ve read the book front to cover multiple times SWR not an issue. Trying to tune the antenna for resonance. The book does not mention much shows how to use analyzer but not how to make adjustments. Mount to bumper, mount to bed, mount to exhaust, mount to cab, mount to hood all checked all...

So got the mount and the new 102” whip. Old one corroded on threads. Please see pics on antenna analyzer. Not sure what to do. Any help would be great. resonance frequency is higher than the 11 meter band so the antenna is to long? I’ve read k0bg several times. I understand x=0 but how to get...

Moving to antenna section. Wrong spot.

K0bg has great info. Says why but does not say how to adjust. So if it’s 28.625 MHz resonance and want it at 27.205 MHz is antenna to long or short.

No I don’t. Mount measures 6 inches. Same as spring

Wanted to tune to resonance not swr.

So got the mount and the new 102” whip. Old one corroded on threads. Please see pics on antenna analyzer. Not sure what to do. Any help would be great.

If you get it. Let us know.

I have the Ranger sra195, and astatic mics. Looked and can’t find the palomar sl41 mic. Very interested if anyone has any comments on this one. Ranger Mic is awesome but I feel myself talking much louder into it than I should have to
