Took my Gainmaster down about 4 months ago and replaced it with a Sirio Vector 4000. Vector worked great except screws kept falling out so I put the Gainmaster back up. Now I get swr's of 3 on all channels 1-40. When Gainmaster came down it had swr's of 1.2, now 3. I remeasured antenna 3 times...

Large coax is in great shape. Meters are Daiwa CN-901 and a friends Yaesu. Both read very close to each other. There is length both ways with the gamma match. I'm just going to enjoy the antenna and not worry about the swr. I certainly shouldn't worry about 1.2. Thank you all for your help.

Antenna down and backnup with loktite and lock washers. SWR 1.2 on 40 and flat on 1. No matter how much I tried I can't get ch40 any lower. When I use regular thin coax the swr are flat across the board. When I use the thicker "better" coax the swr's are 1.2. Both coax is same length. Any...

No I have not. Does it collect water?

Have had the Vector up for about 1 year. Worked great with flat swr's. Checked swr's yesterday and almost 3 on channel 1 and 2.5 on 40. No idea why. Going to take down and check it out. Visually everything looks fine. Anyone with Vector experience have any ideas? Swapped coax with same results...

Had the pleasure to talk with 404 today. Lots of AM music players and high noise levels.

Homer, I've found 5w30 and cat tranquilizers keep the Hairballs to a minimum. Sometimes when we break out the catnip a shot of dairy creamer does the trick.

Boy, it's interesting that some say cb is dead. I tried yesterday on lsb16 with no luck but on 38 of 40 channels I heard people talking. Lots of skip, some locals. Now, I understand that conditions at that moment in time were just right, but thats a good amount of people enjoying our hobby...

Good luck. Hope it improves your situation.

I think you would be doing lots of adjustments as you encounter different noise sources.

Very good. 16 it is.

LSB16 has been the go to channel but with bleed over an alternate would be helpful. I like the schedule we have neen using. That said, if we try lsb 23 and it works better than 16 great. If not we find something that works and go with it. Thanks, Harry (WDX659)

Tried this afternoon with no luck. Will try tomorrow.

I have an Yaesu MD100 mic with an Yaesu DX5000. For some reason I cannot get the tone control on the bottom of the mic to work. When I switch the main control to filter and high emphasis or low cut is engaged the the audio is terrible. I have tried all combinations with the same result. The mic...

Fantastic!

LSB 16 has been quiet I have tried the last 2 weekends with no luck. Will keep trying.

Speaker is no longer available.

Harry, Indiana. 659 if available please.

Nothing here in Indiana. Made a few calls but unfortunately all quiet. Will try later. Merry Christmas to all. Hairball (659)
