Took mine online. Kinda a pain. Easy enough though.

Thanks. I’ve emailed the company for schematics. Not happening I’m sure.

I bought a Chinese 898s dual band mobile. A cheap Chinese mobile. And that’s what I get. I know. Anyway, my group tells me the signal is fine but the audio is very quiet. Even with the mic apart where there’s nothing blocking the element it’s still very low. I’ve not found a setting in the menu...

I have quite a bit of this laying around. It is old television cable company transmission lines. I think it’s ps700 but can not tell, can’t find any information on the sheathing. It has a steel traveler on it for hanging overhead.

No I sure didn’t. I’ll have to try that out.

Not here. Salty old men want the repeater empty. Repeater traffic here is a joke and almost non existent.

Well that wasn’t very helpful. The sent a link to the service manual. I’ve already got that. Hmmm well try try some more

Yeah nothing online. I emailed them this weekend. Since it will adjust in the service menu but doesn’t seem to hold after you exit I’m hoping it’s just a hex setting. And I really hope they will just send the factory hex values so I can edit them and that does it. Other than this it’s been a...

This is a 440mhz sweep of a comet 146mhz mono band antenna using rg8 coax. Yes I’ll be changing to lmr400 I’ve just been lazy. The sharp sawtooth pattern of purple and the fairly sharp swr pattern is what I’m curious about. Being new to really fooling with the higher frequencies I have to wonder...

Recently I went ahead and got into gmrs. I’m already in cb and ham so he’ll why it right? Come to find out, we have several linked repeaters in Arkansas. One guy has 3 simulcast repeaters set up locally covering a pretty big section of the state. Best I can tell, the repeater owners are hams...

It’s supposed to be a monoband. But it don’t look too bad as a duel band depending on where you need to be

right now I’m running this. Diamond Original CP22E High-Gain Monoband Antenna https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AR095VI/?tag=worradfor-20

On 70 as well as gmrs?

I know that a jpole works without the need of radials. But, what happens if you add radials? Has that been modeled? Never considered it until today really. Would it pull the radiation angle down lower? Would it balance the field plot? Would it make your signal shoot straight into space and call...

I dunno. I don’t know that I’ll really improve over what I have in place already. I’ve a tram vhf ground plane because I wasn’t planning on doing any 70cm. Now I’m playing with it so I made a jpole for a dual band. Both feed points are the same height and on 2m there’s some difference but not...

I’ll see your tuned for commercial (I didn’t pay attention as usual) and I’ll raise you this one. https://powerwerx.com/base-station-wide-dual-band-antenna Which I think is the same antenna actually. I’m trying to find one with a spread wide enough to cover 2m/frs and 70cm/gmrs. I’m using a...

https://www.diamondantenna.net/x50c2.html Anyone tried one for vhf/uhf base operations? Thoughts, opinions so on??

I need the factory file for this radio. I can’t get it to adjust the software menus from the service menu. Having some issues. So I figure I can dump a fresh file and it might correct some things. Some instructions would be good too

I built it like he said but maybe trimmed it wrong. Still works great but the length is off. I need to revisit it and see. And maybe it’s the situation above my car? Still fantastic though
