My deepest condolences. In times like these, there's nothing that can be said to ease the pain and sorrow. Praying for you brother, I'm sorry.

This it?

Yes sir, you've hit the nail on the head with this post. Many leave them off because of all the desert mud duck wannabes and childish jibber jabber constantly polluting 19.

It does count as hard mount. Better than? Well that depends on what you're looking for. This shows you the pattern of TX & RX by mounting location. I've been running nothing but mags since forever and have had little issue. Most people will never notice an issue until they start running serious...

The ones deserving of hells wrath are the ones who ask a question about something, then argue with the guy giving him a good answer because he doesn't understand what he was asking about OR the answer given.... THOSE are the ones GW should be turned lose on...:LOL: Some people just can't grasp...

Over the years I've had a couple of radios I just could NOT drive into a amp for that very reason, it turned out one radio was incompatible with the amp. I had the amp tuned to the radio I would be using and it worked great, but any other radio would have retarded high SWR. I never took it to a...

Can't cal mine, it's a MFJ 880 so it auto cals. If there's a difference, it has to be negligible because I really can't see it (ain't got the best eyes anymore though). It's running 1.2-1.3 barefoot or amp but that could just be how that meter calculates, no idea. As long as I'm not bumping...

Normally, the amount of power doesn't matter as long as the antenna is rated for it. Case in point, my SWR was initially set with a bone stock 29LTD, 4 watts max. I'm now running a Stryker 955 driving a 1X4 2879 box, the SWR hasn't changed a bit from the first time I set it.

Jamaica was the only 2 stations I was hearing at around 1700 yesterday, haven't heard anything but locals today on my trip to and from Mobile.

It looks to be a 22MF cap there now, bottom left corner. you can check the value and if it's bad, replace it or move up a couple.But I'm just guessing here.

That's usually a capacitor that controls the latch time.

The problem is, you can buy a new one, that works, for 400ish bucks. The buyer is taking all the risk here, if he pays 100 dollars (1/4 the price) and the board is fried, he's out 100 dollars plus has to dispose of. Selling equipment with unknown damage is difficult because it's worth more to...

The only contact made yesterday was some guy named Tetradactyl in Cali. Other than that, I could hear plenty of people, just couldn't reach 'em.

Wasn't just you, it was up and down the past couple of days. I'm guessing there was server issues going by the 502 message.

Sure sounds like too many watts for the antenna. You can get the SWR down but eventually it'll smoke the wirewound load on the antenna which in turn will/can destroy the radio. As far as it not keying anymore, it may be in SWR protection mode which would indicate you've already smoked the...

Were you trying to adjust the stinger while keying the radio? What type of antenna is it?

Well..... If they're real Toshibas, and your radio and antenna system are excellent, you can run them at 12.5-15 vdc for eternity.

Thought and prayers coming....

Finally talked them into buying this for me, took 7 months but they came through and that's with the understanding I'd be using it more at home than work...LOL
