    Lightning L6 matching

    If you have the Rig-expert 55. It has the ability to be calibrated in such a manner so you can take the affect of the feed coax out of the equation.

    Lightning L6 matching

    In a voltage fed loop. The high voltage point(the point of Max radiation) is at the same point as the feed point to the loop. Conversely 90 degrees from the feed point is voltage null (zero radiation) This is where the other feed line is terminated. So, when you voltage feed a loop at the 6:00...

    Base lightning antennas l4+ quad

    The length of the rod should not change your SWR per say; but a longer rod will give you more adjustment. This rod is 18.5 inches long from the 90-degree bend to the end of the eyelet. I'm pretty sure this is a 1/8 rod made of bronze. I believe they sell this at Home Depot in 24-inch lengths...

    Boom grounding

    Kinda late to the conversation. But SFS feed system on this quad antenna benefits from a well grounded boom. This type of feed system needs a good reference to ground to perform correctly. At this point the only ground you have is coming from your coax braid from the shack. This is where most...

    AnyTone AT-5555 Plus (New Version) DC Power Loss

    Yes, I have a AT-5555n II (long case) driving into a Carlbuilt 4 pill with a 4 watt DK key I get about about 600 peak bird watts. With the radio wide open (8 watt DK-60 peak watts). I get about 850 bird peak out of my CB 4 pill. My radio is tuned for a 8 watt max dead key. I talk 99% on SSB so...

    AnyTone AT-5555 Plus (New Version) DC Power Loss

    I would run this radio wide open into a straght 4 pill. Choking this radio down to a 20 watt peak is a waist of power. Let the dragon breath...lol

    AnyTone AT-5555 Plus (New Version) DC Power Loss

    I would not run this radio into a 1 x 4 amp. Too many peak watts even if you turn the dead key of the radio down.

    AT-5555N2 audio boost

    I, too, run an Anytone At-5555n ii. I run parameters 18 and 19 (Echo length and Echo time) at 10 and 10. For me, it gives your audio more depth and tone. I have received great reports on my audio. Some have said it sounds more like FM

    New President Digi Mic

    Ok, thanks... I did not see that post. The last I saw was that the mic would not work(with the Anytone 5555n ii). I guess that person was referring to the up/down buttons. Thanks for the clarification. The more I think about this I should have posted this elsewhere.

    New President Digi Mic

    Scotts Radios did a review of this mic with his President McKinley. I just did a test. I took my stock mic from my President McKinley 1st gen. And with an RJ45 to P6 adaptor from Scott's radio I plugged my President McKinley stock mic into my Anytone 5555n ii and the audio circuit works. The...

    What is your input tune with the amp inline and the amp in standby mode? Please check your pass-through tune first before you do anything.

    which cap to change on an amp

    I would look for a amp that will take a bigger dead key. A ft101e is a little too hot for a Palomar 300a in my opinion.

    A99 Hy-brid.

    I believe the OEM A99 may have a capacitor inside to make it electrically longer. I know Imax 2000 does.But I could be wrong.
