    VHF Hustler G7 antennas differences

    Hi. As you know, there are different VHF G7 antennas ( 136, 144, 150-1, 150-2, 150-3, 150-4 ) My question is: What is the difference, the length and/or the coils turns, the construction? The G7-150’s are rated as commercial ones. I am asking because I plan to buy a 144 because it is cheaper...

    RM Italy KL 503 Crunchy

    I have this amp with a President Bill FCC. 3 watts carrier, 6 watts swing. I’ve been told it sounds bad when amplifier is at maximum power. I don’t understand why because the most I can get from this amp with this radio is 140 watts. How come is that ? I can understand if you overdrive this...

    Top loaded whip vs. base loaded antenna

    Since wiring is thicker than a Firestick whip, will it handle the 2,500 watts it states ?

    Top loaded whip vs. base loaded antenna

    I am asking about the top loaded vs. base loaded because my Sirio base loaded is too high. I live in a rural area with low branches. I have to pay attention to those low branches in order for not hitting the whip. My bad, it is not a Firestick, it is a 3 feet K40 top loaded antenna. It was a...

    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    Mine is set to 22’ 5” from the bottom of the bracket to top of radiator. I was wrong about measurements from radial plate to top of radiator. I should have said 21’ and 5”.

    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    r carl, if you notice on that manual you posted, the antenna length 19 feet long. With that length it will never tune on 11 meter band. It must be lengthened to around 22 feet and 3-4 inches in order to get it on 11 meter band.

    Hy-Gain SPT 500 swr

    Old Super Penetrator instructions states 22’3” = 267” long from radial plate to the tip. Since this new SPT 500 has some minor changes in the Matching Section ( original one used aluminum rods, new one uses aluminum straps ) , I could tune mine by lengthening it to 22’4” = 268”, remember...
