Yes it was working fine before, but Marconi I just seem to have dumb luck like this on everything I do. For instance I put new heads on my work car and then my temperature gauge started fluctuating, turns out my thermostat took a dump right after I changed the heads. Thats just my luck! I...

I did tune the antenna without the amp it was just when I hooked it back up when I noticed the problem. Thanks for the heads up guess I will get it looked at, I will see how Bretts 500 turns out.

In one of your posts you say you had 3 of theses and also your friend has one of yours and has good luck, now you have had 4 and they are junk and I should scrap it. I also think I remember you telling me to scrap my AX144. You say I should buy new, well i dont have that kind of cash laying...

OK I will try to answer all the questions, I apologize if I miss some or do not give the answer your looking for. Shockwave- the SWR is 1.3 without it. Marconi- my matching pigtail is RG83U @ 6' long , one single piece of coax male on one end and female on the other, about the size of...

Oh yes big fun Doc..lol. Shockwave, the amp is a TS 667V.

I totally agree on the 2950 and really dont like an unlocked clarifier at all really.

Just went and rechecked with the SWR meter and it is actually 2.5 on 27.205 with the power on with a dead key, but when I turned the mic gain back up and modulated it dropped to 1.2. Go figure.

Well guys I thought I had it right, the only 2 questions I had was why it changed when I changed coax length which was answered and why does the SWR go up when I apply power. I am not into antenna theory like you guys and I wish I could answer your questions but your over my head a little, I...

OK, I messed with the beam for about 3 hours Sun. I started out with stock lengths and no pigtail to get a baseline, it was terrible 4.3 on Channel 1 and 3.4 on 40 so I took it down and installed the pigtail just for giggles. I still had a 4.3 on 1 and then ended up with a 4.7 on 40. The next...

Your prolly right but it is kinda personal.

Will do, been workin overtime so havent had time to mess with it but I will when I get time and thanks again.

I have the manual and have read it so many times the pages are almost wore out...lol

I definitely do not recommend putting the rotor that way, I have learned a couple things since then...lol

Here she was in all her glory when I had it up before.

Well you dont seem to want to let go of yours....lol

Also I see you say in the model you isolated the mast but I am unclear how I would do that with a tower install. Just cant wrap my head around that.

Good stuff Marconi, very thorough and I imagine time consuming but well worth by the looks of your worksheets.

Yes, full SSB audio, Yes Full AM carrier, and yes I can adjust the AM carrier level.

You know what I did not make notes and I always tell myself that I need to do that next time and I never do. I could be wrong and I will work on it this weekend if I do not have to work and I will post the results, I promise I will take notes this time..lol

Forgot to answer your question, yes it has a male on one end and a female on the other.
