    Adjustments for resonance

    now that i'm leafing through the users instruction manual your "panel meter lighting" doesn't appear to be intended as any type of an indicator but the behavior is not necessarily unimportant. oh wait, here it is. the peak forward power meter, aka the "digital bargraph display." five...

    Adjustments for resonance

    the presence of the matching network (or any matching point) between the transmitter output and the feedline input to the load (antenna) prevents the transmitter from "seeing" the swr on the feedine. your transmitter is only seeing 50 ohms and delivering all available power to the input of the...

    Adjustments for resonance

    i have no idea what you're reading because the terms "5.1," "dip," or "resonance," do not appear anywhere in that post, that is what is misleading. here is the original post. "The relative unimportance of low SWR when feed-line attenuation is low is demonstrated rather vividly in the following...

    The sun is firing, yet no skip :(

    coronal holes are connected to the appearance of increased solar wind. high levels of solar x-ray activity are ionizing the d-layer causing attenuation and absorption of hf signals and preventing them from reaching the f1 and f2 layers necessary for long distance hf propagation. this has been...

    Adjustments for resonance

    the "peak forward power meter lights" are literally measuring forward current, a condition that occurs when at the match point between the transmitter and the feedline input provided by the matching network a complementary mismatch has been introduced at the point of the original mismatch...

    Have you hit the wall looking for 2879's? Here is a possible replacement

    seriously though, if you're looking for rf power transistors that can provide 100W apiece then don't pass up the 50 mhz. devices, the gain of which increase by 3 dB. when operated @ 27 mhz.. this includes the MRF492, SD1446 and the SRF3800. be warned though because with the increased gain the...

    Why people are not using FM on CB in States?

    cbrs part 95 has only been officially amended now for a whole 17 days. give 'em time.

    Why people are not using FM on CB in States?

    unlike am or ssb where signals close to or on the same frequency are sum added by the receiver, on fm when the same thing occurs then the strongest signal is passed while the weaker signal is attenuated / eliminated. this is what is referred to as "capture effect" in the discriminator section of...

    the VQ2 is a one man job.

    MACO VQ3

    using the array in the combined polarization mode will present noticeably less wind load than the horizontal only mode, besides the other obvious advantages.

    MACO VQ3

    performance will be more than adequate with the feedpoint @ 1/2λ above ground or about 18' feet.
