357. I've bumped it down with you b4 in dx. Star water gate city

I did, I sent an email yesterday. They have another one I would consider too. Said it would withstand winds up to 85mph. Thanks again Loose Cannon. You have turned me on to something now. I've always wanted to try a flat up here. Oh boy

I would sure love to but I don't want to mess up my equipment ha haaaaaa :cry:

No swr was off the chart

Thanks Loose Cannon. I just finished reading on that wolf. It seems to suit my needs. Im wondering if will handle my 2x6

Yes it wasn't connected I had my alligator clips on the other end testing the coax

27.185 I can't remember what x was

I had a mobile on my last crane it worked really well. The only difference was my recieve. I had trouble hearing signals from far out like I hear on the max, even skip I had a few locals telling me that someone in skip land was calling me. I'm going to get another base antenna. I just need to...

So here is the problem. There is something short in the antenna. Reason being I told you guys earlier I checked with the analyzer at the antenna & 2.1. So later on I did check the coax going into the meter & it was still infinity. I went back up to check the antenna again & it was infinity. So...

You're right they are hose clamps. So I checked the antenna with my analyzer. The best I got was 2.0. Also checked the coax with the multi & its also good. Anyone think I should go ahead & ground the mast?

That's what I thought

Which clamps on the mast to the crane or antenna to the mast?

Hey Six thanks for the comeback. So I'm new to this cross needle meter. I thought that where the 2 needles crossed that was my reading. So is it where the needle crosses the actual red hash marks?

B4 I actually mounted it I checked it with the analyzer & I was seeing about a 2.1. Hmmmm, but I haven't checked it with the analyzer since I mounted it. Im going to chk now. What are the advantages of a sirio, and do you know how it holds up in wind?
