Sorry to hear and glad you are back in business.

It's always the ebay module :) I white list this site as I like to offer support. When the ebay module is misbehaving it really kills usage via mobile devices.

Congrats! Stay on that General path too, don't do what I did and wait too long to get in on the HF fun.

The Kenwood TM‑281A is a solid and rugged VHF unit. I mention that if he travels frequently and things get bounced around.

I am going to try this one some day too - https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25149870&postcount=2238

I opened the case and spun the pot. I was using a DPS-750. Scroll to the bottom of https://www.rchelination.com/index.php/tech-tips/how-to-setting-up-the-hp-dps-1200fb-power-supply

I have been able to raise the voltage on these to ~13.2.

Merry Christmas all.

* The degrees of the angle included between each arm is twice the angle number. For example, at the 45° number the included angle is 2 * 45 = 90°... a right angle. Same at the 135° number. 2 * 135 = 270°, where 360 - 270 = 90°. Altenatively, use negative angles. 135 - 180 = -45°. Then, 2 *...

I have the AA-170 and love it. Not cheap but much better than than the MFJ-259B that I had. The AA-30 or AA-54 will handle most needs, but I wanted to be able to play with 2M stuff as well which is why I chose the model I have.

Excellent news HB! Get that wire up in the air so we can make contact!

And a very interesting overall topic too!

To add - yeah, I guess this isn't directly connected to the coax (hard to tell) and they claim capacitive (lossy?) coupling as opposed to the direct connection.

A fan dipole is multiple resonant dipoles connected to a common feedline. This sounds to me as the same as the one described in the link. i.e. I have a 20m/40m fan dipole. This would be a 10m/6m variant.

Technobabble "Fan (parallel) Dipole"?

Doesn't R=63, X (J) = 0 work out to be 1.26?

Nope. After some initial setup, I may adjust NR settings and RF gain on occasion, and I may toggle ATT/PRE, but on a normal day the power on and frequency knob are all I use regularly.

If you don't have any luck send me a PM as a reminder and I can take the cover off of the one I have in the closet.
