I was leaning towards the TNC connectors and was gathering info on best places to buy. However I finished up going with the N connectors: on our local auction website someone was selling four Huber S
While doing research I came across an interesting article of market share of the different types of connectors and the market share of the different manufacturers. I found it may for interesting read

Gents (and Gals) Although I mainly work 40 (and occasionally 80 / 20 ) I like my S-match (design by PA0FRI , a twist on the old link coupled ATU) with its galvanically seperation between antenna and
I am waiting for the new drivers and new finals for my transceiver to arrive (should have been here already). One thing has just cropped up and perhaps some of the more up-to-date knowledgeable ones
Jerry and Stuart, thanks for the feedback. This was just the information I was looking for. Not having to mess around with grease for the drivers really appeals to me, especially since they are stuck
Have not followed the Bazooka discussion in its entirety since I feel it goes a bit far OT. However one of the last postings raised a question in my mind due to the reference to the Late Cbik with wh
Yes, this is what others have mentioned using balanced wires. Rather than addressing the symptoms it's better to address the cause. If the antenna is not balanced then we better try to balance the an
May I suggest to prefix any non TenTec discussion with OT (Off Topic) instead? In that way only once a filter has to be set up, not only for current discussions but also for future discussions. Hopef
The 228 uses a 42 position switch for switching the inductance, the 229 has a roller inductor. When the power amplifier stage consisted of tubes the roller inductor with its "infinite" adjustment was
Recently I obtained a new Huber Suhner surge protector and 4 new Huber Suhner N connectors at a bargain price. Am very impressed with this professional gear - in all the years that I have bought PL25
Jerry & Jim Although it is not as loss free as pure open wire I am fond of the 250 Ohm TwinCom. It can be laid like coax and gets little (if any) interference from its surroundings. http://www.titane
I have been told that some of the better quality speaker wires make excellent twin wire. Don't know which one though. I believe the cobweb is using standard twin speaker cable. 73, Marinus, ZL2ML ___
I am getting interested in this antenna but most stuff I read about is on DXpeditions and beach fronts. Anyone has any opinions on using this inland? Thanks, Marinus, ZL2ML __________________________
Just bought a 228 ATU. Front is immaculate, bottom and top have some scratches but a paintjob will take care of that. The SO239 sockets are well used so those are replaced with N-sockets in line with
Earlier I invited on the list input in a proposed change to the TT 228 ATU. I was considering placing an impedance transformer at the output of the transmatch in an effort to lower the losses when ma
In the Tentec 228 ATU the toroid is encased in plastic and hte windings are silverplated copper. The plastic is sued to keep the windings from touching each other and then there is just a wiper conn
Found a construction description of a 1:9 unun with a FT114-61 toroid that spans several bands. Will try this setup with a low pass L-C matching network since it will have very low losses. Don't know
The TenTec 228 ATU was sold as a 200 Watt ATU. If matching 50 Ohm coax to 50 Ohm coax (I think this is called conjugated match) without a reactance with the components then the loss is around the 25
Some advice is being sought for the RF Power amp in my Omni 546 series C. First the history of what happened and why. As mentioned earlier on this list I obtained my Omni-C unused, new in a box over
