If Carl says it's ok. Who am I to disagree. Good luck with your amp. 73's. Unit 406 from Cleve,Ohio. Hope to hear you soon in DX land. Lsb ch 36-38.

I have the 400hd. I replaced my wires with #4 awg and installed twist welding connectors. I would not splice the wires. Install some Anderson power connectors. A At-5555n ii may be a little too hot for this amp. the recommended power input for this amp is 40 watts peak power. His amp is class B...

I heard a simular story from someone else with the AT-5555. My input match is 1.2 until I get to the very edge of the band with my antenna.

I run the 400hd( as a base amp) on a 100 amp power supply (3x) 6 volt server supplies each set to 4.83 =14.5vdc @100 amps. My supply dips to 14.4 when I transmit on SSB. I run the Anytone At-5555n ii on a seperate 50 amp switcher supply @ 14.3 volts. Most of my DX is done on SSB but I get great...

I have a Carlbuilt 400hd (SSB bias) that I run on 14.5 volts driving it with a AT-5555n ii ( 70 watts peak). With a 4 watt dead key I get about 80-100 watt DK swing to 550-600 peak (bird) with crystal clear modulation. Very happy with my Carlbuilt amp. Looks like his shop is back open with a...

Yes, I saw that.

Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement whip for my Sirio performer 5000(trucker) or a suitable replacement. 71" long.

Yes, there is no problem. I just want to try a dynamic type microphone

Thanks for the reply. Scotts radio also confirmed this.

I will check again. The stock mic that comes with the radio is an electret type microphone(voltage is present on the audio pin). So if you use a non-electret type or a power microphone you need to turn off this voltage. if not; you could damage the mic and or radio.

I'm not sure the Mckinley has a menu? or is it hidden?

Is there a way to change the microphone type on the Mckinley radio from electret to dynamic?

Thanks Eddy, I will keep you updated. Hpefully I can get this antenna in the air before the snow arrives. Thanks again my friend. 73's

No you never did . Not too bad lower 50's

Thanks Eddie, this gives me a real good starting point. This antenna is not too complex so I won't try to brain storm this project. I owe you cold beer or maybe a nice cranberry juice...lol. Thanks again my friend

Sure does..thanks a bunch. Take your time...no hurry. Good hearing from you.

I want to thank all of the gentlemen and ladies (if applicable) who chimed in on this thread. It was a wonderful read. I too purchased a 15 meter MFJ moxon. I will use this on 11 meters (27.205) but I will try to scale the 15 meter model down to 11 meters rather than using the calculator. I will...
