You need a scope to adjust that.

Polish FCC technicians told me, that 3 seconds of signal is enough to get fingerprint of transmitter, to trace signal source it's minutes. They have remote monitoring stations in many places to triangulate signal source. Nice R&S antennas BTW. "Critical" freq's are monitored 24/7 by them. Mike

Plenty of those https://www.google.com/search?q=pll02a+mods

Moxon 11m version is more forgiving for dimension mismatch. At 467 MHz every 0.1 inch make huge difference. Mike

Why moxon? Regular Yagi will better and still small size.

No need to install. http://tippete.net/cgi-bin/moxgen.pl But here is from Moxgen

599? Is someone dumb enough to buy that junk?

You say, that meaningless 8 bar meter is better than needle type external unit?

Based on that schematic https://www.worldwidedx.com/cbt/radios/rci/rci_2970/index.html Take signal from red dot marked place. It is important to connect a socket that way, that if you plug external, internal will be disconnected. Otherwise, when both parallel you will get false readings on both.

Pretty easy. 3 cables and a socket. Hardest thing will be drilling a hole for a socket.

Switch to dynamic in radio menu and capacitor is not needed.

You are right. Mentally limited and closed to self education and new knowledge. I feel sorry for them. Mike

Measure against PS ground, not chassis ground.

Test for squeal on dummy load and come back with result.

Celsius :) 1.4°F

Update. 14 below during day, now at late evening 17

Good. Since you have no other antenna to compare side by side you have no clue what you are missing. Claiming, that antenna is working great, because you worked station A or B means only that propagation was good at the time, not the antenna itself. I'm not going to force convince anyone. I...

Winter finally comes here too. 11 below 0, strong freezing wind and 5cm of snow. Not much, but nice white around. Mike

What's the voltage before rectifier under load?

So is barbwire I worked WAC and many DXCC's :) Antron 99, Solarcon 2000 and similar are very problematic, poor performing antennas. I wrote and explained that many times here in the past. But poor antenna is still better than no antenna. Enjoy your Antron. Mike
