    Dipole Antenna

    OP: I made an 11m vertical dipole from 2 108" ss whips. (another) Simpson Tie, with a 90deg mobile stud mount. Dropped a bolt into the mount and threaded a 3/8 coupler for the counterpoise whip. Four other holes fit with u bolts for a mast (fiberglass). -never done it before. nothing to compare...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    yea, i never really push it to it's limits. I was just noting those figures (max SSB and AM) for the purposes of troubleshooting what, I thought, may have been a problem here. - knowing the 2-20w input is spec'd on the TS site, I figured id' work with those particular numbers for the sake of...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    again - i appreciate your input and willingness to help! For now, it doesn't seem as if my rig has 'disaster' written all over it. :) thx!

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    Great - thanks man! As I mentioned, I'm a bit of a newb. It appears as though my gear is in line, functionally. - understanding that some radios 'swing' better than my Lincoln, I'm not disappointed in my set-up. As you; I don't want to drive anything hard - just want it to be a solid...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    "I personally would not run near 200watt carrier out of that amp." exactly!! I still think something's screwy as 1w AM carrier is giving me almost 70w DK thru the TS (green button off). ....and the issue just compounds from there. From all that I've read, a 2w carrier should give me about 50w...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    you are correct!!! :) The numbers do jive when I equalize them. To get 300 on AM, the carrier needed (6w - swinging to 18-20) gives me a ~200w DK through the kicker.... swings up to 300ish. A 200w DK just seems a bit ridiculous off a 6w carrier. - Concerned about equipment damage cuz, I'm a...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    ah - ok - yea Dial-a-Watt is normally in use (in/on). That's what I'm considering 'low' power. Dial-a-Watt disabled (button out/off) is what I'm calling "high". Otherwise, what you're stating seems very similar to my results. 20w PEP SSB is giving me the (real close to) 300 reading. -just...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    I don't have an AM/SSB front button as it's the TS 350HDV. The SSB delay is on the rear (toggle switch) and is enabled - and I run it that way on AM as well - so, i guess the answer to your question is 'off'? heard there's no issue running them that way....and I'd rather not reach behind it when...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    cool - yea, not sick about it - just noting it for the purposes of this thread. The meter is internal to my MFJ 949E tuner....which is after the TS (obviously). I've got another meter (Diamond) which i may place between the radio and TS to validate my radio's internal SWR meter. ETA: Put the...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    Wow - quick replies - thx! I'm trusting my radio's internal SWR meter for measuring the radio to the amp. @ 1w DK input to the TS: - 1.0 amp off - 1.2 amp on I should however, rig a real meter in that location to validate that. However, SWR does increase as I come up with the Lincoln's...

    TS350 HDV - reduced AM output

    Hi Folks, First post to the brain-trust. Hoping for some assistance... I've got a TS350 HDV behind a Lincoln II+. I keep the radio's power low to play nice with the TS350. SSB does fine (~300 out). AM seems a bit weak. AM: Barefoot DK ~2w gives me ~50w DK thru the TS - but, only swings to...
