In addition to my long wire antennas, I also made a delta loop from electric fence wire. It’s roughly 72’ on each side of a rough equilateral triangle. I had an antenna tee that I used that allows you to tie the two ends together that ultimately connects one end to the center wire and the other...

Will a crimped butt splice negatively affect the performance of a long wire antenna?

Excellent Kenwood TS-530S HAM Amateur Radio FLAWLESS!!!

Got it recently at an estate sale. Everything seems to be in working order. I just bought a new set of leads for it. Opened it up and blew out the dust. I think I need something a little more modern. Would be a gem for someone who is familiar with this particular model. Let me know if...

I have two of these units that are in EXCELLENT condition. I’m considering keeping one and selling the other. I bought these as surplus from The University of Georgia as they were upgrading. This model has active cooling intake and active cooling exhaust with digital temperature control. The...

Even on antennas…

It’s called, “Keep or Sell?” Full Disclosure, I’m still working on my Tech License so I can do nothing at the moment but listen so I need your valued input. I currently own an Xiegu G90 (three weeks old), an IC-718, and an IC-746 (NOT Pro). I want to keep one of these as my operational base...

Okay, if you saw my other threads recently you’ll see my antenna was “getting wet” or some other problem. So after taking the antenna down several times and replacing coax, I FINALLY found the REAL problem. The flanged bulkhead SO-239 connector on the radio is broken. I pulled it apart today...

Just picked up basically a new Cobra 142 GTL Base in its original box, with paperwork, original plastic bag, styrofoam inserts, mic, etc. Barely used, if at all. It’s been sitting in an old couple’s closet for years and the family just had their estate sale. This is the same model of radio...

If someone has SUPER EASY access to a known working A99, would you mind taking a resistance reading with a volt meter between the center pin and shield on the PL-239 for me? I’m getting 2 ohms there. But, if I read from the shield or center pin to the tip of the A99’s center wire I’m getting...

Hello again! So, everything was going fine on my setup until this afternoon. After two full days of drenching rain, I turned on my RCI-2995DX with very low receive. I immediately suspected something was awry so I checked SWR. I had previously been running a consistent 1:1 but now, all of the...
