I've got a Dentron MT3000A tuner and the reflected power circuit needs calibration. The manual...worthless on this subject. If anyone has information I would appreciate it. 73, Larry K0IS ___________
First I want to thank the folks that responded to my query as to calibrating the MT3000A. I've also found that I need an antenna selector switch for the tuner. One of the common contact rings on mine
I'm considering a Butternut HF2V with the additional 30 meter coil. My question concerns where I would have to mount it. The antenna will be ground mounted with a system of 30 thirty foot radials min
I know this isn't probably the proper reflector, but with all the experience here I thought I'd ask my question here. I have a new Butternut HF2-V which has been working great on 80/40 meters tuned o
My wife, a EE/P.E. forwarded this to me just today. http://www.mikeholt.com:80/newsletters.php?action=display&letterID=644&email=kaatnip@qconline.com _______________________________________________ _
Hmmm....divorce can be expensive...any kids? Seriously, I'm fortunate that my wife is an electrical engineer and understands such things. When I was planning my 55' crank up she really didn't want it
I pretty fortunate here in Le Claire, Iowa. When we moved in I already had permission from the Homeowner's Assoc. to erect a tower and some wires, etc. Recently erected a TX455 and currently have a 5
In the next couple days or so I will be ordering a 3 element SteppIR yagi and can't decide whether adding the 30/40 meter option would be worthwhile or not. Maybe it's a no brainer, but currently on
Well, I see folks suggesting that you make your own and there's certainly nothing wrong with this, especially if you have a cheap source of wire and the time to properly do the construction. As for s
Jim, You probably have enough experience as a ham to know that most problems turn out to be something simple after we've investigated all the complicated stuff....been there, done that. Problem is, i
Tom, There is no way I would use ANY aluminum tubing as a mast at any time. In this case there are three problems.....aluminum....tubing.....length. Tubing is not pipe and that length of it with any
I have to agree with Ted on the quality of MFJ. I have had both the old and the new Hy Gain for example and my experience with the new has never been good. They have cheapened the HY Gain line to the
As for the "meaningless dial markings" on tuners, If you know the capacitance to start with then it seems to me that "5" would be 50 percent, 2.5 would be 25 percent, and so on. To incorporate the ci
Some good thoughts there, if we go get a tower for Gary. I'll remember to bring along several sections of ROHN 25 to lay at the front of the trailer to keep the weight on the ball. Good to know this
