Its a wireless panel antenna somewhere between 800 and 2400 MHz. It is directional and pointed at the source. If it is tuned to the 2400MHz range, it can be reused for wireless Internet with most wireless routers.

The bandwidth of the Imax is less than 2MHz. Although your "tuner" will fool your radio, the SWR at the feedpoint (where SWR is measured) will be high. It may even arc as the feedpoint voltages increases. The different length radials will do nothing to improve the mismatched antenna...

RZD is an idiot. Freecell is a capable tech and probably better than 90% out there. Your "bring that swing" and other comments are proof of RZD's ignorance in this matter. Freecell has people problems is not the best business man. It won't be the first time you have an excellent tech who is...

Rob, almost every one of your posts concerning antennas is full of misinformation. You need to learn more about antennas before spreading your poison. Your two comments above are just examples of your lack of knowledge. Now to answer the original question, which is actually two separate...

It will work fine. If you run your HT off of batteries, be prepared to change them more often then when using the rubber duck.

You didn't get all your equipment on the first shipment either? It took an announcement of US MAIL FRAUD until I got all my stuff I pre-paid from him. It took about as long as well.

Took my advise Doc (see link below)? I knew you were smart! Congratulations! Mobile Antenna Thread elsewhere on this site...... Now that you OWN the antenna and have personal experience with Ron's workmanship? I liked your open mind in your post to the thread above...... Doc's reply to the...

It was originally posted under Amateur Antennas. It got moved to CB Antennas AFTER my post......just as I said it probably would. If I would have moved it, I would have edited the thread to remove the posts that no longer apply, like this one, your's, his, etc. Now its in the right place...

No problem, it will get moved to the right area most likely. I'd do it but ever since the changeover, all my moderation privileges have disappeared.

Listen before you talk. This is the best advise you could ever get.

Wrong forum.

I agree 100%!

Thanks for clearing that up.

When the unfortunate time (for us) comes when Kale takes up residence in the big house, I hope his skills were passed to another qualified builder and all around great guy. Kale is the best!

Did you really just say this?! Just passed your General did you?

The losses are dependent on the insulator material used between the center conductor and the outer shield. The impeadance is dependent on the distance between the two conductors and the insulating material. As far as the solid vs stranded comments go..... Since RF flows on the surface of a...

I say it! Don't know who "they" are.

Nope. Surface are is......surface area. The WIRE conducts the RF. Coax is not moot at HF frequencies. While the losses may be, the coax is most certainly not!

Careful, you are giving away secrets now! I know a number of people who replaced their gammas with vacuum variables. A gamma is just a capacitor after-all. I have a 20K (its just an I-10K with a 7/16 DIN). I also modified the main element tubing sizes and diameters, but I'm not telling how!:tt2:
