Just to verify
The 811 does NOT have the problem of needing a low dead-key....like the CB amps ?
So an 811 could take a dead-key as high as 100 watts ?
Ameritron says:
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Max. Drive Power Permissible: 100 watts
Typical Drive Rated Output: 50 watts...
In other words....all I would be doing is creating a dead short across the RCA jack ?
So a 2-wire RCA cable and a simple on-off type of switch is all that I would need ?
Flip of the switch would activate the 811.
.
How would this amp work out for me ?
I'm thinking of using the 811 or 811H with my dual final export radio. ( Superstar 158EDX )
Radio Dead-Keys 15 watts and swings 50 watts.
What wattage should I expect using SSB ?
What wattage should I expect using A.M. ?
Would this amp work...
Everyone in my area that has the Imax 2000 ( and most do ) none use the GPK.
They all get out real well and talk DX with ease.
I just put up my Imax 2000 and I went ahead and installed the GPK.
I figured it couldn't hurt since I was only going to be able to have the feed point around...
I just installed my 8' ground rod without even a hammer :thumbup:
Just lift it up and then jam it back down....repeat..repeat..repeat:laugh:
Life on the " Sand Pile "
I also talked to 286 ( John )....27.385 L....San Diego....near the Tijuana border
and a few others :thumbup:
Talking everywhere with 50 watts and the Imax 2000
69 in New York 27.515 L
168 in New York 27.515 L
15-15 in New York 27.515 L
01 in Connecticut 27.385 L
105 in Indiana...
My Imax 2000 with the GPK Ground Radials.
75' LMR-400UF ( ultra Flex )
Feed point is 18' 6"
Top is 42' 6"
I wanted to be able to easily service or remove it....just by standing on my roof.
Over all I think it tuned up " fairly " well and covers the area I use.
26.815....1.7...
My "area" RS stores are pitifully:sad:
For the most part they push cell phones and basic supplies like solder and tape.
I don't know how they stay in business.
