I believe the Davis Vue is a newer generation than the Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro 2, so all bets are off as to how it measures and transmits data. FWIW my (wireless) Vantage Pro 2 seems to underesti
I've run LDF Heliax direct-buried numerous times, no problems after 20+ years. You don't want splices, and you don't want the connectors buried. If you are careful and don't damage the exterior coati
They are interchangeable however you will need to build some kind of pigtail to act as a connector/gender changer to go from DXA to SDX or vice versa. The manuals, with schematics, are available on B
The SDX and DXA use different connectors but the pin outs are the same and the rotors and controllers are interchangeable if you make up a pigtail to change connector types and genders. The manual is
I was in a town south of Boston last week which has a few large windmills (guessing over 200 feet tall, they are the big ones). Until last week I have never been up close to one, amazing how huge the
A plain old wire dipole, supported by a messenger line, should be on your list! 73 dan k0dan So, Yesterday, I finally got around to installing a dual bander in my 1 month old truck, and was testing i
It should be mentioned that you can put a 0.1" plastic cable tie longitudinally (where the roll pins go) to tie two Power Poles together. This makes a secure and not-temporary connection (unless you
If you have an 80M dipole, you can make it a nifty multiband antenna by making it a single wire feed "T" antenna (see attached dwg). Much info on Google, but attached is a suggestion from the Drake M
Has same behavior on dummy load? Try getting rid of all coax switches, surge suppressors, anything in the RF path to antenna, then swap out jumper cables & connectors. I am thinking cable/connector i
Sure, get a piece of paper and use it to make a template of both bolt hole patterns. Be sure it is carefully drawn, and be careful the "center" = "center". The drill the new holes as needed. About 20
I run a length of parachute line between points where the open-wire-feeder is suspended, and tie the cord to the insulator separating the feeders. Works fine, and multiple segments of cord will permi
As others have already posted, the log will show wild SWR curves even when high in the air, altho should show decent freq/SWR response within the band segments it's designed for (in our case, the ham
Make sure the booms are electrically separate. Each 1/2 element should be staggered onto the other boom from the previous one. Some LPDA's have issues with the feedpoint choke, and how the coax is ro
I don't think you will see much impact on HF, but the foliage losses can become a factor as you up into VHF, UHF, and beyond. Also, at HF, you're rarely trying to pull signals out of the noise floor.

The TriEx, etc., limit switches are standard industrial Square-D switches. You can Google "Square-D" and you will get a million hits. They are widely available, both new and used. The TriEx manual is
I checked my TriEx documentation, extracted info which I hope is helpful for you. My tower (LM470D) was purchased from an estate in 1998, and I rebuilt and recabled it in 1999. Most of the informatio
I hope it's OK to list this antenna/tower hardware stuff for sale here. If not, my apologies in advance! The big stuff (masts, booms, etc.) is probably too big to ship, but can be picked up in the so
