It is not 5/8 wave. It is a loaded shunt fed 1/4 wave, rated at 1000W. The model is KL-11-N (NMO), KL-11-U (UHF).

If the power output was in fact low, it could have been adjusted rather easily, since you have a high end wattmeter.

Mine was measured at 104 PEP SSB on the RF Applications VFD and assorted other stuff you cant get at 1-800-HAM-BONE. Doesn't matter anyway, he returned it for refund.

Where did you get the rock from?

Do the carrier balance alignment.

They are NOT identical. Close, but not identical. The Uniden has the 11.3258 HC/49 crystal. The Cobra's may have the 11.1125 crystal, or a larger 11.325.

There are a few guys still rebuilding the oldest of old, CDE/Hy-Gain rotors. I rebuilt my T2X over 30 years ago. I am going to see how it does. If not good, I am sure it is just grease that hardened, that I will clean out and replace with synthetic bearing grease. Friends, don't let friends buy...

Pre-MFJ Ham IV or T2X. Yaesu has good rotors, but when they fail, you are screwed. Don't ask how I know this.

What do you need done? Send PM.

Try removing 8 volts (or whatever someone tied to it) from the clarifier circuit. See if the freq shifts. That should tell you if you are on track with a varactor. If it is a switching diode, it will most likely be in the PLL programming. But, you said you have already been through that.

The reason for the amp failing, is anyone's guess. As far as running your stuff on that gen, ...just do it. A lot of electronics these days, are running on SMPS, which are conditioning the power they supply. A lot of them have a wide input voltage/freq range and still put out a regulated DC...

I paid $1600, for a small commercial grade Honda, that uses what they call a cycloconverter. It isn't an inverter, but it is an electronic control, that eliminates the alternator completely. It utilizes the flywheel to generate. I bought it, because I had a huge Generac, that had more failures...

I have a similar unit as my main unit. It is an AllPower 7HP chonda, 3300W rated on gasoline (I run on NG) It runs my house, but had a struggle last week when I lit up an 8000 BTU AC unit. I need to look into that some more, but it may have just been a fuel/air mixture issue. I have a much...

I stopped using petrol/gasoline generators after Sandy. LED lighting, TV's ets sure do reduce the loads. I run natural gas only to the standby generator. I have modified them in various ways from gasoline to NG.

How many field days, have I participated in, before there were inverters and pure sine wave gensets? Hmm....a lot. We didn't have stuff blowing up all over the place and we didn't care if it did!

Radioddity QT-60 Pro or QT-80. QT-60 Pro is 10/11/12, QT-80 is 10/11/12/15m. These are new radios that will blow your mind by comparison to the radios of yesteryear. There are several threads on here that pertain to these models.

The preamp in the handbook, uses a 2N5179, I was close.

I'll need to dig out an old handbook.

It isn't $240.
