stranded or solid wire will work just fine. Nice truck 8)

Yeah should have mentioned what hotrod noted there earlier, you should never have to trim a 102" whip. You may also want to try it with an without the spring to see what matches better but when it comes to matching the thing ground is a key factor in how it will match. Also as W5LZ mention...

I did not get a chance to test it on any other antenna yet becouse the last time it blew I did not have my maco. waiting a week or so here to get some more trasistors for the radio then it will be on the maco. Can't wait to get it up and going! Anyway the second time I blew the driver I had my...

passed element 2 and 3 on 1/21/07

Same here. Just when I thought i was the only one.

Im just curious did the output go to nothing? one day its working the next day its not? If so sounds like the first problem I had with mine. The driver took a shit. had an earlier discussion on mosfets on the forum but here is my problem when I was running my antron it poped drivers because of a...

Only run the amount of coax you need to get from the antenna to the radio. There is no magic length that will make it work better so just run what you need.

maybe that why i had to do a complete syttem restore on my computer? Anyway I run NOD32 anitvirus and it seems to catch more stuff than norton did. :roll:

151.940 That TA is only about 20 minutes away from me.

I run the repeater around here sometimes but not a whole lot. Can hit alot of them on my base though. Use the radio for MURS mainly(yeah Im a CBer I know) more people there though and more laid back then 2 meters.
