Thanks for the info, that's what I was hoping to hear.

What are your guys thoughts on the Gizmotchy and Jo Gunn Star series antennas? I'd really like to put a beam up that I can do vertical and horizontal polarization with. I know there are others, like a Maco Shooting Star, but I kind of like how the first two don't have the bottom elements like...

So the mic ended up being the culprit. Apparently the second mic I used wasn't a match for the radio either. Have an Astatic on it now and everything is working good..

So are you saying the factory mic could be bad, and the Anytone just plain won't work with it?

Well I guess I don't know for sure. The factory mic was the first one I tried, then I tried the mic from my Anytone 6666 on it with the same results.

I had an old black face President Jackson given to me. The radio powers up and receives fine, but appears to have no transmit audio. This radio has been tinkered with. A previous owner has opened it up and added a knob on the back of the radio to adjust output power. On AM and FM modes I do see...

Yeah, I know if I mount it horizontally it won't be good for local stuff because of the mismatched polarization. I just wasn't sure what kind of performance increase I would see over the Imax with only a 3 element beam.

Yeah, currently I have a 2 meter vertical and 2 meter beam at the top of the tower. I will most likely be putting up another tower when it warms up some. I may swap the verticals around and see what happens.

Well, that's the thing, I would like to get some more range locally. The Imax doesn't do bad, but I know there are some stations that are just a little too far out for the Imax that the M103C could help with. Let me ask it this way. The base of my Imax is currently at about 25 feet on a roof...

I do have a tower and rotor up already. I guess I'm just curious if a 3 element beam is going to be a noticeable difference for me over the Imax if mounted vertically, or if getting the Imax up 15 feet higher would be just as good. The local stations are all mounted vertically. If there isn't...

I currently have an Imax 2000 up that I use for 10 and 11 meters that is working well. I also have a M103C on the way. I was pretty set on mounting the M103C vertically to use for local communications on 11 meters, but now am second guessing that. I guess I'm curious what kind of increase in...
