I dialed mine in at 12' and mounted it at 52' to base and it got a tiny bit worse and now I cant reach it ;( do what you have to do with the radiator length and the matching ring to get it as FLAT as possible before it goes into the air ! Mine went from 1:1 at 12' across the 40 to 1:1.03-1:1.7...

The Extra wires with the white connector is mine I run 2 cell Lipos in my power mics not 9volts . Im also a RC Airplane guy so its all about lithium batts now(I have tons of them and they charge in 7 mins and last a year lol) ! 2 Cells fully charged is 8.4 volts so I have had great luck...

Rode hard and put away wet lol ! But I think I can get her back together with the help of the forum !!! They have yet to let me down lol .. It was basically a free mic in a grab box and it sorta "works" so I think its worth a shot , the bones are solid just needs a lil tlc lol "low miles one...

Im sure I will get some boo's here but I cut my coax to needed length for any particular install ;) never get out a calculator or a tape-measure . Never been a big problem so (and I am certainly no expert ) I can only assume all the coax math and rules are for optimal performance , so Im sure I...

There is a few good vids about installing fresh coax in Wilsons , I would cut the film in the center of the magnet . Crack loose the 9/16 nut drill out the coax hole and run 9 feet of lmr 400 . I have pushed 600+ into a mag 5000 like this with zero problems . I loved zero oxygen mini-8 coax but...

Unfortunately that's usually the case in my novice tech experience ;( start at the back and work forward lol , keep us in the loop !! 73's Brian 4-2-Zero

Rock N Roll Buddy 73's !! I understand the thrill and excitement of ham , however I love the rush you get shooting 11 meter DX !!! My buddy is a big Ham talks around the world daily on less than 300 Bird watts (on some weird band lol 440.something "" "" ). Its cool and I like it but I get...

asymod THATS IT !! Asymod™ ES Compressor / Limiter / EQ - Asymmetrical Hi-Fi AM & eSSB Check it out let us know what you guys think ! Sorry for the brain fart but its asymod ! 73's Brian 4-2-Zero in The Garden State

If you hit youtube they have a compression "noise toy" that supposedly is dialed in for AM broadcast ? Ill try to track down the name of the board this guy was using . I have spent some time in recording studios (and listening to Stern) and audio compression is key so someone needs to figure it...

Hey Dean Street I'm a simple 11meter single bander but I like her just the way she is ! Hit it with 2.5 "swinging" 4-5 and talk your nuts off lol but I'm no expert just a guy that ran this exact setup (not davemade) for almost 3 years at 14.8 vdc with nothing but flowers coming down the wire...

Currently trying to match 450 miles of railroad track with ladder line and a $9 Radio Shack tuner lol 2Kw should be ok right ??? lol

Tru indeed Sir The Maco changed a tiny bit from being ground tuned to its current 3 story chimney mount barley makes a needle move , Im sure I could get it perfect if I could reach it but not without the bucket truck ;( But yes Its really for the wires buddy ! Thanks , Brian

Hey S&W357 I am jealous , The gun laws suck in New Jersey lol 73's 4-2-Zero Garden State

Most Hams think Im nuts for just sticking with 11 meters . Nice to hear a Ham say he still likes his CB rigs too! After 25 years I am still happy with CB (maybe bc im 2 miles from interstate 95 and the city of Philadelphia ) but Im rarely alone on 11 meters ;) Thanks Brian

The Plus3B was my first base desk mic ! I loved it but traded it years ago for a D104 chicken choker ;( I still have the Turner handheld with the 7v battery buy would love a Plus3B again ! Great work buddy ! 73's Brian 4-2-Zero NJ

Hey Pepperedchicken , I went over the Courier Classic III . I found the stock red button mic as well as the AC power cord (no DC) sorry . I put it on the Dosy bc I only have a hundred watt slug for the Bird and its doing 2.5 swinging 5.5 watts on AC power with good sound reports and really nice...

Hey guys as the title says , I have a Echo Master Plus I got in a grab box of stuff at a swap . From what I can tell it has had a "new cord" a "new mic element" and the battery connector has been ripped out and re-soldered in what appears to be a few different places . I have a volume and an...

HAHA one of my biggest problems !!! This is just the stuff that's NOT shrink-wrapped in totes and closets :eek: I spent 1 crazy summer 10 years ago hitting garage / estate sales and craigslist and found a ton of stuff and Ive been yapping for 25 years so it can be a bit much ! I usually use one...

I will fire her up and give you a status report asap , I got it with 8-10 radios in a big box of goodies . I know she is extremely pretty with great chrome top bottom and face and it talked and received well last time I fired it up , pretty sure its 120v AC and 12v DC hookup but will update with...
