I recently joined an area 1.2GHz group that I am really enjoying, but my
10W station is limiting.
I am new to 1296 and would like to upgrade my station. As many of you
have years of experience with weak signals, I would appreciate your
input.
I am using the following on 1296:
Radio: Icom IC-910H with 1296 module (10W)
Cable: approximately 47 feet of 1/2" hardline with 10 feet of LMR 400
around the rotator
Antenna: Directive Systems 2325LY (25 el loop yagi) 17dBi mounted 10
feet above a 2 1/2 story house
I am considering a mast mounted preamp installed where the hardline
joins the LMR400 and also a sequencer (with an amp to follow at a later
date).
Any recommendations?
Would I be better off with SSB Electronics or Downeast Microwave (or
maybe another brand)?
Thanks.
