Yea it works like a new radio. Just the posts needs fixed. You have to find the sweet spot between like 9 and 10 o'clock on the volume knob. There is another spot around 1-2 o'clock but its way to loud in that position. The 9-10 position is perfect volume for running it as base. Works for the...
This radio is in Mint shape for its age. It only has 1 problem. The pots needs replaced or cleaned on the volume knob other than that its 100%. I'd really like to have a decent base for my shed so I don't need a power supply. I've ran this as a base in my home and ran it in my truck also. Made...
I got a 50-60' nice tower gave to me. I only plan on using 40' of it for my Sirio Tornado 27. I've had people tell me just to put it at 36' at the first wave length. Whats your guys opinion on this? Should I go 36' or 40'. I might can get to 45'. My new coax coming in is 60' and I might not...

I actually ordered my coax late last night. 62' of LMR400. I'm having the ends professionally installed also. Hopefully I will have it soon. I will get the 2 measurements for you when I install it.
Yes it is 26.8 to the very bottom of the Antenna. Tip of antenna should be right at 49'. The antenna is just over 23' itself. It sways around when its windy but haven't had any problems yet. Monday and Tuesday it looked like a spaghetti noodle in the air. Very windy. the pole is fastened to the...
I'm running it like it is right now. Works awesome. I'm fixing to order some LMR400 60' with the Amphenol ends already put on. I will see if that changes anything. Like it sets the SWR is 1.2 pretty close across the 11 meter band and the Impedance is just barley over 50. I will report back when...
I put it up myself but my pole was already up. I just lowered top section down to remove the Antron and add the sirio. For tuning swr I just set the sirio over the top of the pole to test after adjustment. Use blue loctite on all screws and set screws.
It's very simple to build. Just got to get swr set right with the top section. I had the Antron 99 and the TX and RX is better with the sirio. Get your measurements all correct and all the same for the 4 radials.
