Got it!

Is the power level for a Ham radio that states the power output as being 100 watts a dead key power output? I have never seen anything about a "swing" power output for them like you do for CB or modified export radios. For instance, the Anytone AT-5555n 2 power level output at 60 watts is only...

Snoozin!

Thanks. I want to experiment a bit with two hamsticks in a dipole configuration for 11 meters.

Does a 10 meter ham stick have enough length to get a low SWR on 11 meters

I Received my SWR meter that I purchased through Ebay and I am impressed for $44. It took 6 days for the meter to arrive from California (Free Shipping). The unit seems very accurate and labled as a "peak power" meter. The case is made of aluminum and is very compact. The display is backlit and...

OK!

I ordered one yesterday (Thursday). Ships from California so it should be here by Monday or Tuesday. The videos I watched before ordering says they are good for 120 watts.

I did some research on YouTube and it turns out that those meters are pretty accurate! I don't know how durable they are but for $45 I think I'm going to try one.

Has anyone tried one of those cheap battery powered Chinese digital SWR/Power meters that sell for around $45 out of California.? The battery can be charged via a USB cord. Are they fairly accurate?

PVC pipe

Thanks.

I actually was not asking for an opinion on the brand I chose. I would like to know about orientation of the antenna and where to place the additional element. Thanks for your reply though. :) thanks for you

Stainless screws in all connections which I already have in my screw bins

Do you own one? I have read quite a few positive reviews on Sirio antennas including the dipole.

TV rotator that I already have. The antenna should be fairly light. I priced it out and by the time I buy aluminum tubing I would be spending more money the just buying the Sirio.

OK all you antenna gurus out there, I need help. Sirio makes a single element dipole antenna that can be used as either a vertical or horizontal antenna. ( Cheap $60-$99 ea). I plan to use it as a 2 element yagi by adding either a director or reflector. My question is, which would give me more...

Anytone AT-6666 or AT-5555N 2? Which one is better?

I have one and the audio from the speaker is amazing!

I use a powered TV splitter to feed my two scanners and don't notice much if any difference in signal strength.
