Here's just one. USA Seller ..... others available from China https://www.ebay.com/itm/364405683850?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

I've been looking there occasionally for a few things recently and am surprised / not surprised to see so many fewer listings with people running away in horror I guess. Especially with ham rigs .... you could look for a model and find dozens of them listed and now it's one or 2. I know I don't...

I've given up on the SMH response here to people wanting things what the great majority would consider to be old ridiculous boxes of junk. People like what they like ..... :cautious:

I had the Antenna Locking Ring keep getting loose on my TID HT. Got one of these a couple of months ago to fix. Called an X Wrench or X Tool - Has 4 sizes, should fit most everything out there. $10 on eBay

Diamond X510HDM Dual-Band Ham. Very broad-banded on UHF. SWR 1.5 thru 470 mhz. 8 x 5/8 on UHF 11.7db gain.

Yes Yes Good Good i like idea very much of you send me free antenna to use my house. Free antenna cheaper than build or buy. This great site free stuff for christmas many thanks :ROFLMAO:

I used like a 2 Watt 100ohm pot wired in series with a power leg on the fan. Mounted pot on the back with Knob. Nice variable speed controller.

Yep, like El Dorado said, take to a competent tech for a full alignment. Decent radios.

Well duh. What's the use of having a meter showing 85W on the 100 Scale and 160W on the 500 Scale from a 100W signal ? ;-)

They looked cool. Had a friend who had one. Seemed to work okay but a couple of the scales were out of calibration. Never saw inside it but assume it had adjustment pots and could have been recalibrated so different scales would show the same reading.

lol .... I didn't say Full Legal Limit. "Full Power" home station on VHF/UHF generally refers to running a full power mobile radio rather than a handie talkie.

Dood ..... this post was from 2011 ..... Not sure I was really alive back then :LOL:

Hi Guitar. You didn't mention wanting to use one of these clips hold-downs in your opening post. No problem. Do as Brandon suggested and braze on a little ball of brass (brass brazing rod) with a torch. Brass will readily stick to stainless (use flux). Or attach one of these guys. The fitting...

What you're suggesting should work but - if you're using this antenna to transmit on ..... you could do a heckofalot better with practically anything else. Discones have NO Gain on any frequency and are mainly used as Receive-Only antennas like for scanners.

Why can't you pull the top of the antenna down when going under something just because it doesn't have the little ball on top?

Realize this is a bit late but just thought of it. Enormous disaster relief effort going on in North Carolina being very much headed up by hams and many others. They are using the Mount Mitchell repeater (6,800 ft) 145.190 that has a reach into 5 states. Vicki Carnes, AD3I is doing Yeoman's Work...

You should be fine at that height. Otherwise a bit sorry to hear that you have to go to so much trouble, work and expense just to put a vertical on it. Most guys save the tower headache for a big beam.

You did but the language was murky and it is being allowed. You can google articles about it.
