New to the Northeast, and all the critters that eat...well, everything when it gets cold enough. I am planning on running a length of FSJ-4 (1/2" Andrews superflex) from the house to the end of the b
I've never found any clear explanation of how thrust bearings are practically implemented. If the bearing is to "hold up" the antenna (so that the rotator doesn't have to), I assume that it's the for
I have a hunk of RFS FLC78-50J that needs a connector. I see comments on the web to the effect that the RFS 7/8 connectors work/will fit on Andrew LDF5-50 cable. Does anyone know if the opposite is t
I have a G-800DXA rotator turning a K4KIO hexbeam and a 40' mast (the rotator turns the mast and the antenna). When I turn the antenna via computer control, it does not go all the way to the desired
Someone implied this but I'll expose it a bit more: how attics are built depends greatly upon the construction techniques used locally, which in turn depend greatly upon the climate. In my NJ house
Greetings, I would like to use a dow-key type 60 coaxial relay to switch between a hexbeam and a EFHW. Given the EFHW isn't a perfect match...will the relay contacts survive 1.5kW to maybe a 4:1 load
Are these two different companies/manufacturers? The names seem to be used interchangeably, but RFHamDesign.com draws a distinction that I haven't been able to validate thru Google-ing. Thanks, -- Sc
Anyone willing to share sources? Looking for quality, no cheap overseas crap. Thanks, -- Scott NX7U _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tow
Say I have a pile of coax adapters on my bench (we all do, right?). How do I separate the wheat from the chaff? I have a fully equipped bench...I would think the go-to would be a TDR measurement. A
If that's the case, then wouldn't an insertion loss test reveal such an issue? For example, I was deconstructing the power handling of a Charter Engineering B5-series coaxial relay (N-female connecto
I stand corrected; yes I neglected mismatch loss. Re-calculating using datasheet max values gives Pdiss values that decrease with increasing frequency, which is what I would have expected (but didn't
