    Someone Sent Snake 12 Radios To Get Worked On WOW

    Hey guys I just wanted to say I had 7 radios done by Snake Radio's and I am not defending Snake Radio's just stating that all 7 radios that were custom made for me came out fantastic. I have a large assortment of radios from HF radios to CB radios and Tim did a bunch of Cobra 148's that sound...

    Sirio Tornado 27 Antenna

    I thought I would have the room for it, now I realize that I dont. The Sirio will fit if I make the radials short they are adjustable from 4 feet to 6 feet. I will try it with 4 feet and see what happens.

    Sirio Tornado 27 Antenna

    I looked at the Gain Master but wanted to go with an Aluminum. I already got the Tornado and opened the box. I will try and see if it works next week without the radials. My major concern is SWR with out radials. I am thinking that if the SWR's are good without the radials then hopefully it...

    Sirio Tornado 27 Antenna

    I see your point, well I could try shortning the radials they are adjustable, this loaction is the only place where I can put up an antenna where my fiance is at ease. The A99 on a 18 foot pole is working fine but figured the Sirio would work better just didnt realize the radials would have been...

    COAX CHOKE

    My neighbor has a new TV in her living room and it does not effect that TV, its her old TV in her bedroom that gets it. I dont bother any of my TV's or anyone elses in the neighborhood. Also I have a bunch of ferrite cores here would it do any harm placing them on the coax before and after the...

    COAX CHOKE

    I went to Home Depot and Lowes and they only carry the 4" pipe. I did the Choke over and did 5 turns on the 4' pipe. Just trying to help fix TVI. I already offered to buy them a new TV, but they declined. Maybe a Beam antenna pointed at their TV with 5,000 watts...lol (just kidding)

    COAX CHOKE

    I will be setting up my new Imax 2000 with the GPK in the next few weeks. I just got LMR400 delivered yesterday and made a choke using 4" PVC pipe with 10 turns around. I am wondering if thats too many turns or not. I also give TVI to my neighbors old tube TV but not her new one. Right now I...
