As an operator a relative reading is all you really need.

With a little creativity and effort you may be able to disguise one as an umbrella on a picnic table.;) I've also seen reports claiming that they are less effected by nearby objects/structures than most other antennas, this got my attention as if this is true it might make them a good candidate...

No embarrassment here, bottom-echelon and proud of it.(y) Never ran one but looked into them in the past, they seem to be more common in Great Britain so those forums will have a bit more info. There are plans out there to build your own with a couple different variations on the matching. One...

This whole issue reminds me of the VFW and their ideas of who was "good enough", now most of the halls around here have closed and the few that are left are scrambling for members. I can see not giving them everything but if you want to use full privileges on the HF bands as an incentive for...

Yeah, not cheap. But they can solve a lot of problems if you're limited on what you can put up.

There is a system of classes to compete in, these classes are based on the number of transistors in the final amp stage. If your competing in the two pill class they ain't gonna let you run a 128 transistor amp. This is why they try to squeeze every last watt out of a transistor instead of just...

You're forgetting the original purpose of these designs, you only need to key for a few seconds to move on to the next round in a keydown.

The stationary shops can be an even bigger problem these days, the CB radio business just isn't big enough anymore to pay the bills on a traditional brick and mortar shop without squeezing every last dime out of your customer base. Now I don't have a clue who this particular tech is so this...

If I'm not mistaken these are supposed to have two nulls off the edges of the loop, would those nulls be enough to use for eliminating unwanted signals? I'd be interested in your thoughts after using it. PS: Cover that thing with evergreen branches and you could mount it on your roof, if...

I'd prefer for her to bring a friend and cover twice as many knobs.(y)

You better watch him, he may be moving in on your territory. He may be way out in the desert because he's working on a galaxy far, far away.:whistle:

I think that idea was better on paper than in practice, there was just to much potential for stuff to go wrong.

I guess we know whose wife goes to sleep the earliest.:whistle:

Personally I would rather not have the light, but I'm just no fun like that.;) That's good to hear, I believe some of the Sirio antennas also use that mount don't they? If going with a hard mount it would be nice to know you're not making a commitment to one brand of antenna.

It says it improves reception, that would mean it sucks the RF in. It must work on a similar principal to a toilet.:whistle:

How does that magmount SR-A10 connect to the mount? would there be any possibility of drilling the hole and using a hard mount with it?

My first thought was the same. I put it on my watch list, if it winds up getting relisted cheap enough I might grab it just to see what's up.

It looks to me like one of the pics may be a different radio than the rest.
