Alright thanks guys. Here’s the thing it’s not my first rodeo. It’s bonded it’s grounded it’s scraped and strapped. It needs a tune up because of other issues not because the radio has some noise. But while I’m doing the tuneup I’m looking into advanced options to improve things.

No I’m not throwing parts. It’s 177000 miles and needs a tune up. And not all autos get resistor plugs or wires even though they’ve been around for years

The nr-1 is the best thing I’ve seen. It filters the noise before it gets to the radio. Go on YouTube and google nr-2 noise blanker. S3vora builds them. Pure fire

It’s time to address ignition noise through a tune up. Chevy Astro with a 4.3. It’s for sure spark related. There’s resistor wires and resistor plugs available. I’m leaning toward resistor wires and standard plugs. What’s your experiences?

A guy gave me a vector 4000 today. Needs cleaned up a bit.

2018?

It’s an old post but…..My 102 is on the side of my astrovan mounted 6’ off the ground. Welcome to the trash heap. Hahahahaha

So I’m looking around. An antenna is just an antenna but of course there’s differences. I have old clr2, penetrator, astroplane, 64 wave archer and a busted big stick. I currently use the 64. Current height is around 55ish feet to the top of the mast. I use it on 10/11 meters. I’m more...

It’s not Really a sickness. Tell her it’s like shoes

Installed it today. 102 whip on a Chevy Astro a rear drivers side with whip tip at 14.5’. Swr is 24.217 is 2.4 to 30.105 is 2.2. And of course 15m is over 8. No 15 till I put the tuner installed. 83 watts was the max output unless it’s on 15m then it was 24 watts Radio has 1.01 firmware...

Aside from hitting stuff, what is the max height of a mobile antenna? I’ve heard 13’6” and others said it don’t matter. What’s your thoughts?

I ordered a qt80 on the 10th. Dummy me I didn’t read all the shipping and delivery fine print. I didn’t realize it ships from china. It’s in Hong Kong today. Long ol way. Using the wwdx code I saved 45 bucks though. Hope it works well. Just waiting. Maybe should’ve ordered the 60 but I liked...

I’m not against a coil. Not at all. Just thinking around.

In a mobile I’m gonna run outta room and start hitting telephone lines. Hahaha

Yeah I dunno. I could run 2 but then there’s a switch box and more cable and and and. I dunno. I’m thinking. A trap would be good. The the whip would be too top heavy. I have a screwdriver on my other car but that’s a waste for just these bands.

Would you be better with a 15m antenna and tune it down to 10-12 meter or a 10-12 and tune it up to 15? I ordered a qt80 mobile and am thinking around about an antenna. Was thinking about a 102 and spring whip and a cheap tuner. I can add a riser to the 102 and bring it up to 15 easy enough but...

I run a small Chinese atu100 and love it. $100 and small enough to fit in the car at the base feed of the antenna.

everyone seems to be looking at these import radios that delve into 12 and or 15 meters. im looking too because im retarded i guess. what do i need with another radio and antenna system? anyway this is the nano of my 102" steel whip with a ball mount and fat spring. it shows how this whole...

i need to take the back off of it to get to the filter board. ive decided to just sit close to it and whisper words of encouragement for the moment

yes. up and down like normal
