    LesComm Radios

    So yes there is an adjustment on the 125 peak kits that allows you to adjust the needle movement as far as "hang time" and speed at which the needle swings back to zero. Adjusting to show more watts will throw the kit out of calibration and be useless. Do I trust Less not to do that, absolutely...

    Frequency range is 26.965-27.855. No model number or other markings and has the same board as the Royce 639. Anyone have a clue what model this is or any other info?

    Sirio SY27-4 Beam Install

    They work ok for what they are and they are cheaply made. I don't beleive they are glues, i beleive they are pressed in and maybe cold like liquid nitrogen would be the way to go? I have an 8 element jo gunn but it needs a total refurb and i dont have a sturdy tower to put it on so it just sits...

    Sirio SY27-4 Beam Install

    I got my sy4 used and found the radial mounts on the boom come loose and had to pop rivet every one to keep them secure. I also found someone online who was building 10kw gammas for the sy4 and sy3 and quickly grabbed one. Unfortunately i no longer see that seller now. Im sealing every joint...

    colossal 10 k

    Worth every penny if you require a more stout antenna build because of wind, ice, snow or even large bird issues like eagles, osprey or owls. While the maco v5000 was an ok antenna it doesn't hold a candle to the Colossal when it comes to durability and easy tuning.

    Is 1.1:1 the perfect tune?

    So i can get lower than 1.1 which of course lowers my reflect watts to almost zero but does tuning lower than 1.1 negatively affect other parameters such as reactance and phase? Is the 1.10 - 1.19 range where i find that sweet spot where all the parameters align or am i just jerking off?

    Yagi waterproofing ideas

    I've been using ss30 on every joint and connection. I even use it on the so239 threads. I had to drop my sy4 beam for Milton and am tearing it down for general maintenance. Im seeing some joints that i didn't use ss30 on and and those all have water/dampness in them. Ill never use coax seal...

    Fine tune cb scam. 2 years later

    Ive heard as many people he claims to be talking to as ive heard people on the air say they're talking on a fine tune radio. Never have i ever heard someone say they're running a fine tune rig except for Mark. Its either a recording or hes flat out ghost talking. Pretty funny the UK feels the...

    Wind load ratings and rotator lower support kits

    Im assuming the reason for the 50% cut in wind load rating when using a lower mast support kit is because of it being clamped to a relatively thin pipe compared to a pate bolted to a tower. My question is can i increase the wind load rating by using a different method to mount the support kit...

    Fine tune cb scam. 2 years later

    I had problems with Lester years ago where i paid for a radio and he never shipped it nor did he even finish building it. He kept giving the excuse that he had to order parts. I got my money back thru my credit card company 4 months later. Glad you haven't had any issues.

    WTB Ranger 2995 DX and a Texas Star DX 500

    My 2995dx 2x2290 paired well with my dx500v 4x2879 toshibas. Having the variable on the 2995dx helps to dial in the right drive.
