had an opening to Australia yesterday afternoon, maybe the dx will return this afternoon on 11 meters.

wide sharpie markers http://www.staples.com/Sharpie-Magnum-Permanent-Markers-Black-6-Pack-23034-PK6-/product_1720856 the link above is for a six pack, that is why they are expensive. if you could find a single that should be enough.

Any new news on these radios? battery issues or other wise? Sounds like it will do both fusion and aprs, both directly from the hand held ie, no additional software, laptop, tablet, or droid phone hook up, or external gps etc. i'm just looking into these on youtube.

well let's hope conditions are favorable, if they are and the bands are hopping, we should check back here for frequencies to work for the forum contest...

Is there a patent filing for the solarcon i-max 2000? I have not been able to find one searching the web.

my thoughts are to return the kit from best buy. some of that stuff does not appear to be needed, to go from 2950dx radio all you need is 2 wires long enough to get you to the battery of the same or a thicker gauge than what the radio has. you should install 2 fuses at each of the wires right...

i see where the 400dr is now replaced by the 400xdr

tentatively marking march 25-27, for forum contest 11 meters. that is about 3 1/2 weeks away.

does not seem to be much on the forum on the 400dr, did this radio not pan out as planned?

I have sent sirio an email asking if they will be producing a half wave gain master antenna. Also asked them if it will be end fed or center fed. Don't know if they will reply, but if they do I will post back. I have no reason to doubt anyone here, but my question is this: Why would sirio...

from reading the francis amazer patent and another discussion we had on the astro plane antenna, my thoughts are that this antenna is electrically a 1/4 wave while using their 3 or more wire wound system to improve the match. whether the performance of an electrical 1/4 wave antenna is less...

so it's true CB=constantly broke! :D

yup:) i hit a typo! 5 versus 3 wires though, this is the first i have heard of that, i previously only knew of the 3 wires.

you will need a 2 meter radio that modulates on fm check your 2 meter band plan for frequencies designated for fm simplex, find a frequency that is not busy.

something interesting i noted while glancing through the Francis "Multielement radio-frequency antenna structure having linearly arranged elements" patent.... In the second image, known as sheet 2 of sheet 3 on the patent filing, there is a figure 3 which appears to me to show a cross section...

i had wondered before whether this exact thing you mention would or could become an issue, Marconi,,,

you can make anything work for 11 meter dx.... as far as the gainmaster, you would want to treat it's outside with varnish or other protectant. i would recommend an annual inspection and treatment if needed.

actual recomendation is 5-6 meters away from any metal objects, sirio also says amongst other advantages, that: "Thanks to its cable coil at the base(rf-choke), gainmaster is fully decoupled from its supporting structure(poles,towers etc) with the benefit of preserving both the impedance and...

greetings my friend: i have asked that before, but no harm in discussing.... generally most think that there should not be interference from the mounting pole, but then again Sirio did say no metal within what 10 feet? be interesting to see what you experience, how long of a dielectric type...

that having been said, what is a good dead key and swing for these radios, so as not to tax it too much? and sound good is the 78 similar?
