    Anyone used the MFJ-5008?

    Anyone used this model interference locator? First I will say I’ve went thru all the hoops, shut off all breakers and the noise is still at 9 S units. Tried everything and narrowed it down to power line noise. I can hear it on my mobile as well. I’ve watched videos on this and seemed legit so I...

    Maco flat 6 vs Maco 106c

    Question guys. Please excuse my ignorance on this one. But what is the main difference between these 2? Obviously the Flat 6 has the reflector wire. But can someone explain to me what difference is performance wise? Also, the flat 6, could I put a ground plane on top of that?

    Maco M103 vs Maco Y-Quad

    I know both are similar as far as statistics go. Which is better? I talk mostly local, skip every once in a while. I plan on using a 40' push up pole. I currently run a IMAX. Never owned or operated a beam. I've been in radios for a while now. A beam, I'm totally new to them. So bear with me as...
