Does the sirio m-400 have the same ground radial angle as the original starduster? I think the original had an angle of 17 degrees from the mast. I can't tell if the sirio radials are further away from the mast or are the same as the original starduster...

I wasn't too sure whether to post this question here or in the cb antenna posts. I'm curious if anybody has tried to use there NV4K or sigma 4 on 20 meter with an antenna tuner. Right now I'm using a Imax with my ts-440s. Problem is this antenna seems to be deaf on 20. I have a sirio gpe 27...

I just got my ham ticket. I passed the tech and the general the same night. Problem is I have absolutely no amateur gear. I probably did this ass backwards. I'm not sure whether I should get a 2 meter rig and get an hf rig later, or should I get an hf rig now? Would 500 dollars get me a decent...

I've had this radio into the shop twice now for alignment issues. For some reason when i'm on am or fm if I tune the radio 2 khz lower people come in louder with more signal. I also come in louder and have more signal to them. ssb doesn't have this problem. The tech that work on it said it's...

I was toying around with the downloadable version of enzec. I brought up the first elevated radial system in the menu box provided by the program. I then converted the antenna to 27 mhz. I set the antenna height at 8.5 ft. I set the radial length to 6ft. It showed a typical 1/4 wave pattern...

I recently checked the continuity of the center section of this antenna and it read infinite resistance. That leads me to believe it's a capacitor and not something to keep the wire inside from banging around. I have the "Max" 2000. I pretty sure its no different than the "Imax" 2000. If that...

I recently bought a maco v58 It won't tune to the 11 meter band until it's under 19 ft. The bracket with the so239 on it appears to be put on upside down. All the pictures I can find online of the maco show the so239 mounted the other way. Anybody else run into this problem?

I recently put up an Imax2000. I'm getting a weird sounding signal on 27.190mhz that is wiping out my receive on ch.19. The noise wasn't present on my old sirio gpe27/5/8 wave. It wasn't present on the wilson 1000 in the mobile either. Another oddity is my imax picks up the wx stations...
