You’re gonna think this is weird I have a new Yaesu 710, I have an FT101EX that I use, I keep a Lafayette SSB 140 underneath the rest of my radios just in case I get a visit I can say I use that for an 11 m band. I also have a 101ZD that I like a lot but it seems the 101EX receives better, and I...

I don’t think that was what it was called but yes, Copper did have their own version and it was a regular 5 to 8 watt output radio. It worked OK it just had no output worth’s damn. You didn’t have to worry about blowing up an amplifier because it didn’t have enough output to hurt it.

It’s a lot like a Magnum, 257, same kind of frequency coverage two of the three have the same display. I just don’t think the output is anywhere near what the Magnum Radio’s but it’s cool looking and it’s a base station. If you have one or buy one, check the power supply, there’s something in...

I’m sure it has a lot to do with input also. I don’t think 25 W on sideband would hurt this amp at all.. A.m. that’s a different story.

I had a 6900 was no better than a Galaxy with side band drifting. The 2950’s were a lot better radio by a long shot. Just my experience

Guess wind in Italy is minimal

So you buy what is supposed to be a great antenna but you have to sleeve it? Am I missing something?

An old guy around here where I live, used to say you could talk around the world on 10 W, you just need a good antenna, really good coax, and when the propagation is correct, you can talk anywhere. I’m sure you’ve heard it 100 times and I heard it also but the antenna and the coax will work very...

I’m glad it worked very well for you. I forgot to say, and I should have in the beginning, I’m talking about Sideband not AM. And I understand conditions can always be different, same distance, same whatever could make receive different every day or even every couple hours. Sorry I didn’t see...

Well, that’s what his antenna does read

It was exactly the same and the SWR’s are 1.2 all across the band. It’s the same. It was with his IMAX only it went up a little bit on the higher channels. The Italian antenna seems to keep the SWR the same across the 40 channel band? Sir I’m 69 years old. I’ve been screwing around with Radio...

I’m really glad it works well for you

The guy took down an IMAX 2000 with the ground plane kit , same pipe, same coax, same everything all he did was put the Italian antenna on the American pipe and I guess it doesn’t have a good fit. Antenna analyzer what do you need that for if you didn’t change anything, you know you guys get so...

Italian should stay to making wine, the Fiat car isn’t worth a damn, the RM amplifiers weren’t worth a damn what makes you think they can make antennas.

A friend of mine about 30 miles north of me took down his IMAX 2000 and put up this antenna. His signal to me dropped ALMOST 2 S units same radio same everything just an antenna change. Now we can only talk on a quiet day and I didn’t change anything at all. So I doubt very much if this is the...

I got a good idea don’t fix it and sell it to me

I bought something about 5 years ago all I remember it had 333 in the model number, it works fantastic on 144- 148 220 and 440 also its about 15 feet tall,weights almost nothing, but it works great I would recommend this antenna to anyone looking for an antenna in these frequency ranges

Why would you want to take a part a 101 ZD.?

Personally, I had a bad experience with the expensive Sirio mobile antenna so I won’t buy their products anymore. It might be fantastic. It just won’t ever be at my house.

I bought a new Johnson 352 what a great radio but not cheap shame I couldn’t convert it to get all 40 channels.
