No JT. I saw that previously as basis for the argument
My point exactly, Beetle! RoadPro doesn't manufacture diddly squat (shite) unless it's tires. RoadPro Tires [1] and RoadPro Family of Brands [2], are two different entities, and two beings.
RoadPro[2] makes Imax 2000, BS! They are a Dollar...
Rechecked my PM3-75A today. SAS no switch and adjustment screw for constant voltage output mode. It was just recently I learned that some PM3 have the switch and adjuster at opposite end from fuses; was looking for switch/adjuster on side. Here again, it is not a LK model.
I believe that is by design for optimal performance; as I'm sure you knew.
In a cold environment the unit possibly might never reach peak operating temperature, and performance, if the fan was always on.
Really Tokin, not even Jesus boots? Occasionally I hear someone from the "sandbox", 38 SSB.
My first Imax 2000 converted to pretzel while it fought against T.S. winds, mixing it up against oak branches, was 14AWG magnet wire; was "tested" to 5000W. Does that mean 5000W til it glowed red or white, elliphynoe.
I've made FT240-43 Choke Baluns with 16 AWG wire. The enamel coating...
Can you provide a link to RoadPro Manufacturing website? Other than RoadPro Tires.
Pro Trucker sells the same for + $4, same "bat" channel.
18 and 22"ers also available. I'm not sure lengths are with or without thread length. I've got a couple 10" ers around here somewhere.
I once used them...
Would you be so kind as to provide section measurements?
From the antenna base, not to include the aluminum mounting plate. I cannot bring myself to include this portion as a radiating section. Add this lame portion separately?
I've a possible readily available solution to the "short"...
Before I was a little shaver we lived in Spain. Was my first experience with drinking cool water stored in terracotta jugs. The magic of evaporative cooling.
"CMC", oh sure I've heard of 'em, just not by the acronym alone. I call 'em Fugly Baluns, principally due to size and weight attributed to the wound coax. I've adopted the FT240-43 wound alternative; a much smaller package.
I don't know how many snaps ons are the recommended for 27 MHz. I...
I see sayeth the blind man. No insulation nor insolation; insolation, the bane of algae growth.
Can you count on your trusted water source to remain pure, and available?
I mentioned gravity fed water filters. Its a miracle! Turn pond scum water to safe drinking water. There are two...
Another thumbs Up for Stryker SR955. Stryker in highly regarded, in magazine reviews, for it's receiver side; except by those with other opinions. The 955 has SSB.
Cobra 2000GTL. I've talked Australia to UK on SSB, from C. Alabama, with this radio and a 5/8 monopole at 1/4 wave height.
I...
13.7V - Unless I'm wrong, that is operating vehicle battery maintenance voltage
I don't know whether my RCI2970N4 would operate on anything higher than 13.7VDC. It doesn't have an indicator of voltage draw.
Sadly my PM3-75 doesn't have means to set steady voltage. I concluded the LK as in...
On your original previous posting on this matter I had inquiry principally pertaining to Imax. But your tree climber's concern for the wellness of the other antenna was valid, IMO. Again, good luck.
There are a few question to answer; perhaps avoiding trouble of your own making:
How are you...
What is a CMC?
The Imax 2000, I guarantee is not 24". $50 bet. No such thing! Never was!
At best it was regarded as a .64 wave antenna, never .666...6. Closer to 23 than 24'
A 100' of LMR400 dangling vertical from the feed point! Your are employing a tension relief measure? Maybe 1/16"...
I was unaware mold grew in a flooded environments. You spoke of flooded or copper environs. Why no check valves on you hose lines? Would inhibit mold spores entering hoses.
I assume you utilize a gravity filter system for potable water, maybe a Berkey ceramic filter system?
Speaking of...
my First thought is stagnant water is lines; since it clears up after flow through. I imagine you drain lines when property vacant for awhile but perhaps all is not vacated, due to a droopy section? I'm guessing your plumbing is PVC? Doesn't have antibacterial benefit of copper.
What if at...
24' Imax 2000 never was!
"Can confirm the shortened models did not tune well on 11M," 11 minutes ago.
Can you confirm that with numbers?
I found what might have been the epistle length posting on the Imax 2000. Many measurements given, none I took time to total were 24'. Some at or near .624...
