I need to know how long the verticle radiator needs to be to set it for channedl 19 or 27.185.
It was set for the ten meter band on 28.400, so mathimatically that shows to lengthen it (7) inches.
I did so and it has a very high swr.
How long should the vertical radiator be? It is now at 17 feet 10 1/2 inches.
It could be the old RG-8 going up to it, and it has been raining so, I'm going to try and find some new coax to replace it before I go crazy.

Does anyone have any spec's on the SUPER PENETRATOR antenna?

Thanks; Dick Baublitz xpi

That's a GREAT antenna!
Suspect the coax/connections...

you may want to consider PM'ing CDX-007 who is a member here that rebuilds those antennas . he has apparently found a few ways to improve the already great performance of those P500's and he may have some tips to help your performance or your install go a lil easier .
