Thanks for all the info guys i received my antenna monday i used the old penetrator instructions leaving the tophat straight and not at a 45 degree angle and 26 7 dont know if im just lucky or what swr just a tad over 1.1 across the band so far good reports from everyone thanks again
I know this is a old thread but thinking about purchasing a spt 500 if i use the old assembly instructions from the 80s it should be fine to tune to 11 meter i think any info would help guys
It a d&a pdx400 ive tryed everything i know to do even what oldtech03 said seems like its all working fine fan works tubes glow bright relays all work when keyed only for a very quick key and release could be something internal i guess
Tryed everything i know to do the swr is good with just the radio and meter checked the pl connectors and cleaned soon as hook amp back inline swr go out the roof could be in the connector part of the amp or maybe internal guess its time to take to the cb shop get it checked out thanks guys
I think its something to do when i hook up the amp inline i ran just the radio and meter and everything is fine under 1.5 what could cause the amp to make the very dangeroulsy high not even running it or turning it on
Ok guys ive got some swr problems with the meter and amp inline i have very high swr ive hooked only the antenna up and less than 1.5 soon as i put it back on meter there high again i took meter out of line hooked to amp then radio and is high but just antenna by itself there fine any help...
Thanks guys I believe my alternator and battery will be fine running it I don't get very long winded when talking anyway was just a thought about the capacitor I'll scratch that idea
OK guys I know this is a very old post I just purchased a galaxy DX 98 vhp around 300 watts was wondering about these amp compacitors my truck has a 180 amp alternator running radio with 4g wire would a compacitor help or just a waste of money and my 180 amp alternator do the job thanks
