The WX0B antenna switches are built like a tank and they have a lifetime warranty. They may cost more than some other switches, but as we used to say in my early days at Collins Radio "Go first class
I'll throw in my 2-cents worth. I replaced my Butternut HF-6 with a 43-foot vertical after doing a bunch of A/B testing between the two antennas. The evaluation was all done on receive and on 160-15
I've been using the MFJ-802X for several yearws and I've been very happy with it. The "X" means it includes both the MFJ-802 FSM, and the MFJ-802R remote unit. I modified my units so they use RJ11 ca
I used an MFJ-259B for a long time (probably 10 years) and it served me well. However, a couple of years ago I bought an Array Solutions AIM4170. This is a lab-grade instrument which really spoiled m
"Just triggered a nit pick hot button for me... "lab-grade"... what EXACTLY does that mean?" Well, to me it means similar in accuracy to the kind of equipment I used in the RF lab back in my working
"AA-200: Nice and portable, BUT, the Blue on Green screen and the small Font size bother me. I haven't had one in my hand yet, so if I do get to do the "touchy-feely" test I may revise this." I just

Well, bigger is always better. A HyTower will be a more efficient solution than a 43-foot vertical. That being said, I like the 43-foot vertical as it is less obtrusive, and mine isn't permanently mo
Jerry - That is a great piece of software. Thanks for that link. My worst case situation is on 160 meters where it looks like I'm marginally OK with the T400A-2 at 1500 watts when operating CW or SSB

I use a 3 meg 10KV resistor on all my antennas. Info is in the "Static Bleed" article on my website at www.ad5x.com. Phil - AD5X _______________________________________________ ______________________
"...1 dB is the smallest change in OVERALL LOUDNESS of everything hitting their ears that they can hear as DIFFERENT..." I was told a long time ago, and I subsequently verfied it, that 1dB is the lev
That is aluminum braid, so you really can't solder to it. It is meant for compression F-connectors. Phil - AD5X _______________________________________________ _______________________________________
I have both a 40-10 meter travel vertical, and a 40-10 meter travel dipole in the "Articles" section of my website at www.ad5x.com. Both easy to build, and very compact. Phil - AD5X _________________
I have the AA-230 (not the PRO). I'll have to admit, I really like it. Very easy to use, and I can easily capture images and paste them into documents as necessary. I really like the multi-band displ

"That's because at frequencies above 14 MHZ, it makes a nice cloud warmer. The higher the frequency, the warmer the clouds get." Well, that depends on your definition of cloud burner. The 43-foot ver
