I purchased an Imax to put on my mast while I'm talking on the mountain top. My only concern is that the 16 pill in my mobile (3000-3500 watts) will be too much for it. Has anybody put this kind of wattage through an Imax? I know the antenna says a 5kw rating, but I just don't feel safe...

Two clean functional amps, 2 pill is new-ish, 6 pill is a bit older but in great shape. The 6 pill has been an indoor amp ran on a 150amp power supply with no abuse. Mostly looking to trade + cash for an 8 pill, 12 pill, or 16 pill Fatboy or Lipzipper... other brands will be considered, but the...

Bird 43 meter w/ 4300-400 peak reading kit ($150-$175 for this kit on ebay). Meter works fine, does have some chips on the case here and there, I'd rate a 7/10 in appearance. Bird 5000h - 2-30 mhz Bird 1000h - 2-30 mhz Bird 250h - 2-30 mhz Bird 50c - 100-250 mhz Coaxial Dynamics 82011, 10kw...

The 12 Element Laser is designed to achieve the maximum gain and front to back ratio using a Quad Reflector and Yagi Parasitic elements. I would think these can probably be tuned for 10 meter as well with a little adjustment. These are $550-ish new. $425 + actual shipping. Also...

I have a brand new set of Laser 400's, in the box, sealed that I purchased about 2 years ago. I got my tower up high enough to get over the trees, so I'm hoping to get 500's. Thanks, Josh

I picked up my tower yesterday, and have been sorta planning some things. The manual states I need 72' for the distance from guys to tower on my tower.. is it possible to do this at 64' with the loss of a little wind resistance? Where I live 2 locals have towers up.. one has a 90' with...

I have 2 sets of m103c's, and I'm considering getting a stacking boom and putting them up on a tower about 80' up. How would this perform in comparison to say a 7 element Maco, or a 5 element Maco. Would it be wiser to just get a 7 element and ditch the 3 element's? Or would the gain be...

Anybody ever ran a Cobra Cam 87.. how do they work? My dad picked it up the other day for me, and I didn't know one existed. I had heard of the cam 85 and cam 88 from doing searches on this board. I run a cam 89 now, and I love it.. I know it's probably nothing special, but it's just something I...

I'm looking for a mast to support the weight of my i10k. It needs to be at least 8 feet long, as I plan on putting it 3-4 feet out the top of the tree to get the horizontal elements clear of everything. These radio shack masts I have wouldn't even begin to support it, that is for sure. Anybody...

Having an extremely hard time tuning a maco v5/8 in.. It worked fine at my house, moved it to my dad's house and it hasn't been right ever since. All vertical elements are 6", for a total of 240". We've tried everything from 235 to 245 adjusting the top element. All horizontal elements...

What are the pro's/con's/differences between the two if any? I would think that a flat coil would have the best performance due to sheer surface area. But I sure love my predator 10k, and it seems to work extremely well.. So I'm wondering if there is much of a difference at all. Thanks, Josh

I am currently running a 4 pill fatboy, but a 2x8 x-force is going in Friday along w/ a 200 amp alternator and 2 1200-1300 cca deka batteries, so I'd like to get my antenna right before putting more power into it. When installing my antenna it tuned in to 1.1 swr with a really short stinger...

I bought my first bird meter today for $130.. It's a bird 43, and came with no slugs. It has n-type connectors.. I have not received it yet, but I am assuming these are not compatible. How much does it cost to convert to a compatible connector? Also, how harmful is it to the meter to...

I have a 98 sonoma. I have 2 dual coil predator 10k's, both 22" shank's. One is currently mounted on the roof, another I just got. Would I benefit by mounting a 2nd antenna on a bracket on the center of my tailgate (if I could make it work)? Thanks, Josh

How many watts do you put into your starduster? Right now my dad has been putting 1500 into his w/ his 2x6, and he's about to put his 2x8 on the base. We have ran the 2x8 on the base for short periods, and it seemed to do fine.. he's been running at least 1000 on it ever since it went up. He...

I am about to do some testing thursday with my dipole at very large heights. I am curious at what point will there cease to be any gains in the antenna that I have. I am planning on putting this thing up at least 50 feet up. I am curious as to how height effects a dipole? Does it give any...
