I must say it works for me!
Oh by the way, C W Morse, I'm waiting on hearing you reply to captain...
Man bet she pulls some series alternator amps on ssb, I have the 455 m4v and it pulls pretty good on ssb, so I can imagine what a monster she must be. What kind of charging system you running with her?
Hey jerk, what is the problem with running your antenna system with a 1.4:1 -1.5:1 swr? you are only loosing about 10% of your signal if that much, and that is probably on the high side by 6%?
First of all there is no way a 102" steel whip is going to give you a 1.1:1 swr period end of sentence !!! It's more like around 1.4:1 / 1.5:1 is what you should be seeing, Unless your using a antenna tuner between your meter and antenna.
The length of your coax is probably showing you a...
That 102" whip w/ spring has around 36 ohms plus the coax has 50 ohms.
So the 50 ohms divided by 36 ohms = 1.38 The best you will see is around 1.4 swr no better, unless you you use a tuner.
My instructions sheet that came with my m4v only states a voltage of at least 13.8 volts minim, it doesn't state a Maxim voltage. I have run mine with as much as 16-17 volts. By running at this level I only seen about a 50w increase, it's safer to run it at 14-15 volts on a regular bases.
