So how far should the end of the wire be away from the tree to be safe? I will be running between 1000 & 1500 watts.

I have made a 80m dipole (12 gauge insulated wire) and run 100W into it now. Because of my limited space it goes through a couple trees (not touching any branches unless the wind blows) and attaches to another tree with an insulator and kevlar rope. The end of the wire is about 2 feet from where...

Right now my Sirio Gain Master is about 24 feet in the air (to the feed point) and I have a 1.1 to 1 match (the needle just barely moves) with 110 ft of LMR400. I intend on putting it on my roof and then the feed point will be about 50 feet off the ground. I have never hear that the swr will...

WW is right, kind of depend on what you are planning on doing with it, just hitting a repeater or simplex. The main reason I built mine was my radio room is downstairs in my home and the rubber duck on my HT was not sufficient to hit the repeaters. Now I have no problem hitting many repeaters in...

I just built on and got it installed last weekend. Works great! Have a 1.1 to 1.4 match across both bands (2m & 70cm). Got the plans for it here: Copper Cactus J pole antenna - 2 metter 70 Cm dualband By the way, I left 1 1/4" between the tuning section between the 57 1/2" and 38" lengths...

The link I posted works. Yes it doesn't go to Quansheng site, but you can get the software at the link I posted above.

If in fact it is the Gain Master, I put mine up a couple of weekends ago and I have gotten nothing but compliments! It is preforming much better than other people antennas in my area. Just running a Cobra 148 GTL for the base right now, it's been tuned but that is it. I am constantly told that I...

I found another place to download the Quansheng programing software: Quansheng After you unzip the file, make sure you rename the file by removing all the "Chinese" characters and the period (.) after the [1].

Here is a link to the USB drivers I finally got to work: http://www.radiogearpro.com/download/USB_Drivers_64_bit_4.2.0.zip Also I you join the Quansheng TG-UV group on Yahoo, someone had come up with a real nice excel speadsheet that works with the Quansheng software! It make it a lot...

Post the link again as a direct link, cut and paste doesn't work.

I took my Tech and General test on Feb 14th, I received my call sign on the afternoon of the 22nd. Might have had it on the 21st but it was President's Day and they were closed. I was watching several site to see when my sign was posted and the link above to the FCC posted them first. Try this...

I agree with you about eliminating foreign aid and making our Corp & business bring the manufacturing back home, been saying that for years. We need to take another step and cut our Senators and Congressmen in half and cut their wages to the going wage in the US, make them live under the same...

I can seem to get the Quansheng software to communicate with my TG-UV2. USB drivers are correct and working, have check and have common Com Ports, tried Com port 2 first and then Com port 1. When I click on read data, I get a window that says "Read data from radio", there is a box below that...

You are sooo right!!!!!

That's cool, but remember gold and silver are not money. Money will be worth nothing. Gold and silver are commodities just oil, fuel, etc. You may not have something another person is looking for, but he may have something you want and is willing to accept a certain amount of silver for it. He...

What you are forgetting is that there will always be a form of barter. People will grow gardens, and barter with the extra they can't eat or can. Silver will mainly be use with that because nobody will have the change for gold because of it's value. You might need a product that someone else...
