Jim, It's possible that your motherboard requires a BIOS upgrade. You should find it at the motherboard manufacturers web sit, usually in support or download areas. It is important to establish which
You will not be disappointed Peter. I have an Omni V with the N4PY replacement microprocessor. It is an excellent radio compared to just about any Japanese radio as far as RF / on air performance goe
Hi Noel. Yep, a lot of people knock the good old horizontal loop for no good reason. I'd like to get my loop up at 185ft! I have a non resonant horizontal loop about 156ft total wire length at 25ft A
That's what I've been told too, Bob.. More wire = more contacts. A real G2 and a couple of real G3's told me that it's a good rule of thumb. So that's what I did, no measuring...just put as big a loo
Hi Pete et al.. I wasn't "getting at you" specifically..:-) Of course there's no single solution to suit every need, and antennas is one area that most ops can indulge in a little experimentation her
Thanks for the info Rick. When I have installed my tower, I might just put a vertical loop up to compare with the horizontal. I need the tower as a support, otherwise I would already have one up. My
Hello all, thanks for looking As folk were discussing wire antennas, please forgive another non T-T specific post! I have a fair amount of experience with beam antennas on HF / VHF, and colinears on
Hi everyone, who emailed off or on list. Many thanks to all for the suggestions and explanations. I shall have to digest them all. Results so far are encouraging. It radiates on 160m, at least I had
Hi all. Many thanks for all of your comments, much appreciated and now digested a little! The loop is playing well for me in some respects. To my surprise, I'm getting good reports on top band using
Hi all. Thanks for all who have responded! I'm not sure where the "no groundwave signal" stuff started.. I said that I'd noted QSB on a signal from approx 5 miles away as RF goes on 80m. I assume tha
Stuart. I'd come to that conclusion as well, so I may try to move the feedpoint further away from the window. The rest of the loop is about 8ft higher than the guttering, but the actual feedpoint sag
Thanks Stuart. That's interesting, as I've also seen another type of loop where there are 2 loops one above the other constructed with a single wire. In other words, a double loop. The spacing is abo
Stuart. Yes, I see the problems. There's obviously a few bits of hardware on the roof with all those feeders and obstacles. Hope the cloudwarmer works out for you. 73 Paul MW0CDO. -- Original Message
Rick.. In the current RadCom ( RSGB Journal ) on page 37 there is a UK Ten-Tec importer advertising. They are preparing to begin Orion imports, and have the Jupiter available. See http://www.aoruk.co
I too would like the answer to the question below. I have an Omni V, and would like to investigate the lopsided PBT tuning that it has.. but I don't want to do a "screwdrivers expert" job on it in ca
Rick, I have my doubts that AOR would be clued up on older TT kit.. but will give them a call once Christmas is over. I did ask the very nice Chinese gentleman who mans the TT rally stall, and he kne
