Hi QRN
Currently I have a full wave inverted V
An inverted V to the front of the house and an inverted V to the back, all one antenna.

I currently have an inverted V at 55 feet for 15,17,20 and 40m

I sent an e mail to Bob Heil...
Thanks Beetle
No I bought them from my ham store a few miles from me.
They work fine on my laptop using echo link but when I hook them up to the Drake using the proper adapter they only have sound out of the left side.
I have had great audio reports with them so they work fine in that...
Hello
I have a question if I may.
I just bought a pare of Heil Pro 5 headphones and I have them hooked up to my Fathers TR7 but the sound only comes out of one side. Is there a way of getting sound out of both sides?
I realize that it’s a mono plug, but I thought I would get sound out of...
