freq 27.4 he tried it with 50 ohm coax and didnt work to well. i just asked him a few min ago and he said he is using rg6 75 ohm with a 18ga center conductor:ohmy: on both quads he built for 10 yrs now..very low swr.s..and at times he runs 800 watts thru it and can run more but he dont.said...

90 percent of everyne here def knows more than me about this stuff no doubt. but i will say my coax is 30 yrs old or older rg8 6-7 strand center,and i have another 100 ft on 35 yr old on standby lol.. my swr,s with the 45 yr old astroplane is dead flat,so hopefully does as well with this quad...

wow i like it,,i think i totally get it now..the 2 outter screws on the block go all the way thru and the coax and wire go on the 2 sides. other screw looks like a "set screw" to hold the spreader still in the hole? i was worried about weight on mine..i have some clear lexan plexiglass thats...

i just copyed what i see all the time is all..it is supposed to attach to the end of the 3/8 f.glass spreader bar .i switched back to wanting vertical so maybe i could hear the locals better. yours looks real nice but seems the wire pullin on it at an angle would make it relax and strectch a...

judging by the boat/wall and how much it came up,id have to go with 44-52 inch tires and a locker front and rear:biggrin: maybe a small dingy on top of the jeep just in case:tongue: i have had water 2 inches below my jeeps bottom edge of window and almost trashed my jeep..i love offroading but...

just thought back to when i had a similar problem in a truck yrs ago..i put a ground strap/wire from the antenna to a bolted frame connection and had great results. that being said theres nothing like a 102'' ss whip,,ever,period!,imo..meaning i never had any wilson 5000 or equivelent out...

i was told ,,,antenna antenna antenna,and conditions conditions.. and you guys were correct. did it on 12 watt swing 3-4 times a week to canada and other places at the right time..talked 1500 miles on 1 watt a couple times.logged them all. then added 500 more watts and go almost anywhere...

like said here already and very true. past few months all my cb radio talking on am and upper lsb channels were on a very old president grant 3 button mobile radio on am and upper ssb channels..then i just got a base not long ago. the old moble radio did not do but 12 watts swing on lsb and i...

no deadkey on ssb like on am..when on ssb you can shout a long auuuudio and look at the meter and thats the watts your doing on ssb. also with just a normal meter it will just read the average watts putting out. i have a avg and pep switch and when on pep its a lot more watts..so if your meter...
