Big question here is what is more important to you, do you want a solution or do you want to be proven right.
If you want these pissing matches to go away then stop participating in them.
If you want to be right then continue arguing with the Rabbi just as you have been all along, just don't...
I remember at one time there were guys messing around with using flatbed scanners to get images of a record into their computers, then they would use software to read the "grooves" and play the sound. I don't know what happened to that method in the long term though.
Skip ahead to 0.38 to get...
The way I understand it how well it works varies quite a bit from one chassis to the next, it all depends on how crappy the diodes that the manufacturer used are.
On a turnstile its basically two dipoles in a cross, off the end of one dipole is broadside to the other. So it would take two pair of identical hamsticks to make one array. Of course this would mean you could only set it up for half as many bands.
I did a bit of googling after my last post...
I seem to remember a set of crossed dipoles that was supposed to give dipole performance but in an omnidirectional pattern, I believe it was called a "turnstile". I wonder if this could be set up as a two band turnstile eliminating the need to rotate it.
Most of this is above my pay rate so forgive me if this is stupid. If I'm reading this right in these walkie talkies they tuned the output of the radio to match the antenna used instead of tuning the output to the standard 50ohms for use with commonly available antennas, it seems to me that the...
Personally I never noticed a difference.
As far as how it looks on a spectrum analyzer is concerned that's more about how you run your equipment than the equipment you run, transistors may have some inherent noise but IMHO it's not really significant when you compare it to the crap that any amp...
It may just be something stupid, the more work done at once the more opportunities for minor mistakes (not a knock against the tech, sometimes #### happens). If possible I would let the tech that did it have another look at it to double check his work.
Also as said in previous posts an...
