I have a couple Super Star sharp shooter mics and cant figure out the wiring. My problem is the way I have it wired works on my 747 mic tester but doesn't work on a radio. Cable is 5 wire yellow l, blue, shield, red, white. Ive tried several combinations and cant seem to make it work on a radio...

They work ok for what they are and they are cheaply made. I don't beleive they are glues, i beleive they are pressed in and maybe cold like liquid nitrogen would be the way to go? I have an 8 element jo gunn but it needs a total refurb and i dont have a sturdy tower to put it on so it just sits...

Good to see you too. Certain elements here i miss and others I don't though I do refer alot of people here to get accurate info. Im like a tropical rash that just wont go away lol

I got my sy4 used and found the radial mounts on the boom come loose and had to pop rivet every one to keep them secure. I also found someone online who was building 10kw gammas for the sy4 and sy3 and quickly grabbed one. Unfortunately i no longer see that seller now. Im sealing every joint...

Worth every penny if you require a more stout antenna build because of wind, ice, snow or even large bird issues like eagles, osprey or owls. While the maco v5000 was an ok antenna it doesn't hold a candle to the Colossal when it comes to durability and easy tuning.

So i can get lower than 1.1 which of course lowers my reflect watts to almost zero but does tuning lower than 1.1 negatively affect other parameters such as reactance and phase? Is the 1.10 - 1.19 range where i find that sweet spot where all the parameters align or am i just jerking off?

I've been using ss30 on every joint and connection. I even use it on the so239 threads. I had to drop my sy4 beam for Milton and am tearing it down for general maintenance. Im seeing some joints that i didn't use ss30 on and and those all have water/dampness in them. Ill never use coax seal...

Ive heard as many people he claims to be talking to as ive heard people on the air say they're talking on a fine tune radio. Never have i ever heard someone say they're running a fine tune rig except for Mark. Its either a recording or hes flat out ghost talking. Pretty funny the UK feels the...

Im assuming the reason for the 50% cut in wind load rating when using a lower mast support kit is because of it being clamped to a relatively thin pipe compared to a pate bolted to a tower. My question is can i increase the wind load rating by using a different method to mount the support kit...

I had problems with Lester years ago where i paid for a radio and he never shipped it nor did he even finish building it. He kept giving the excuse that he had to order parts. I got my money back thru my credit card company 4 months later. Glad you haven't had any issues.

Well, never did get a reply from norms and the gentleman from hy gain says he was recently talking about retiring. All the rotor sellers have left ebay because of their high fees and seller protection program and are now on Facebook. I had to break down and start a new account. Thank you Ken...

Just bought a 10kw gamma from this seller for my sirio sy4 and it fits fine.

My 2995dx 2x2290 paired well with my dx500v 4x2879 toshibas. Having the variable on the 2995dx helps to dial in the right drive.

I've been reading all the reviews i can find and the one common element is quality in the past 10 years has dropped substantially. People are saying they had a 1990's built rotator in the air for 20+ years without a problem until they bought a newer unit built after 2010 and cant get them to...

Talked to Hy Gain yesterday and their rotator division isnt doing well. Between covid wiping out several of their parts manufacturers and the continuing supply chain issues they are 4+ months out from resuming any new production. No new rotators/controllers until mid June at the earliest and...

Dead horse? Lol sorry if you dont like the thread. No phone No email teply Maps says permanently closed yet im supposed to believe they're still open? Did you fall and bump your head. If you dont like the thread you know what to do.

Im not believing that. Pretty sure thats an auto message that is automatically updated daily by a computer. No email reply, disconnected phone and maps saying its "Permanently Closed" is enough for me.

Well be careful is all i can say and glad you got your stuff. All i ever got from Norms was a bad attitude. I thought maybe id give them another chance after 2 years since my last bad experience but with no email reply, maps showing its permanently closed, the phone listed being disconnected...

Google maps shows it "permanently closed" and the phone has been disconnected. Looks like the lack of friendly service caught up to them.
