okay I was confused

okay I was confused. I thought it was in usb or lsb not am. that is good to know. I did the same thing with the swr from another website and it looked good. However, those instructions did not inlcude the cal.

As for antenna, I'm would want a 102" dipole antenna. I'm kicking myself since I passed one up the other day at a thrift store. Figured I didn't need it. This was before I had the base station. But it was complete antenna missing the spring/cable connector.

As for mouting them. When I get a sec. I have a radioshack tv tower. Like a 20ft one with a tv antenna on it. I'm going to place it up there for now. Just for testing. Yes, I bet the tv interferance is going to be something else but I don't expect to be watching tv during the use and there is no amp.

Speaking of amps. I'm tracking a 100watt on ebay solid state (can I talk about this here?). Uses 12 volts and a little beat up. Can you give me a idea if that will hit about 18 miles away? that is the next big town. more like 18-23.

Thanks,

Josh
