    Palomar Electronics Max-Mod. Spoiler alert!

    I wouldn't say that too loudly. There's some folks in this forum trying to muddy the waters by claiming it generates more heat but the heat magically gets trapped inside the transistor and fails to exit the transistor due to thermal inefficiencies.....

    Just out of curiosity, how is he relevant to the topic of this thread?

    Mobile Predator 10K Review.

    It's really easy to measure performance with an analyzer. Whichever antenna has the narrowest bandwidth will be the best performing antenna.

    Each one of those metals has quite unique properties. 316L is very hard and brittle but very corrosion resistant. Not quite suitable for a flexible whip. 17-7PH is less corrosion resistant, but very flexible and returns back to its original shape after bending. Very different metals with very...

    Palomar Maxi Mod

    Speaking of Shell Games, I fail to see what any of this has to do with comparing the Palomar Max Mod transistor to the 2SA1302 except for deflecting attention away from the topic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the best way to abuse a transistor is to remove it from a heat sink. My question...

    Palomar Maxi Mod

    I'm not sure how his name came up but I just asked a simple question since if one generates more heat or draws more current to achieve the same result then it must be an inferior component. I think it would definitely be an interesting comparison. Whichever component requires the least amount of...

    There's two hundred different types of stainless steel utilized by the Navy for various applications. ASTM sets the standards and the manufacturers have to comply with the standards. The link you posted is from one of the manufacturers. There's a huge difference between 304 stainless steel and...

    Have you done a comparison between those two in order to see which one takes the longest amount of time to reach a specific temperature?

    Neither one of those terms have any meaning. 17-7 PH is what everybody uses for whips.

    Any recommended AT-6666 durability mods

    It's not a simple drop in component. It's a higher voltage device. These guys like simple stuff. Without test equipment I wouldn't mess with it.

    Anyone ever adjust driver bias on a connex 4300hp

    Sounds like those stages are nonlinear.

    Is this a good antenna?

    You need to disassemble it and grind the paint off the interior so that you have bare metal on the inside

    Is this a good antenna?

    It's only as good as your installation skills. Where you decide to mount it and how you decide to mount it and what type of vehicle you're mounting it on are going to be the determining factors for how well it performs.
