It's not changing the swr at the feed point by using a 1/2 wave multiples ,but when using a 1/4 wave length you are causing a impedance transformer and thus cause a false reading of the feed point.
Why would you need to do this w/a 102" whip ?
You would only need to do this, if you were moving away from the current range of frequency's to a different range of frequency's, and still using the same antenna length whip?
Marconi, I cant believe your asking this ? How have you ever tuned a antenna with out knowing what was at the feed point, without using the 1/2 wave method ?:confused:
That is a good question, i have always wonder about that radio myself.
As far as the Trc 465, I have one, but the receive sucks in AM and only does about 80% modulation AM. It's too much old school for me.
They are showing the old mic logo, wonder if it's old stock? I doubt it, a lot of these sellers use the old logo pic's to sell this new China made junk.
Be sure to ask first!
Hell, buy both and see for yourself it's not that much to invest, you may be surprised that the stock mic matches you voice better than the Astatic.:whistle:
If used in the proper way as a audio enhancer, like stacking multi tracks on a music track, have you ever listen to any eastern music it's some what hypnotic in moderation with the rite amount of echo.
