    Uniden PC68XL (turn DK down)??

    I prefer the variable mod, using the RF Gain control, adding a TIP31 and cap. Not much more work.

    how to read ohms on coax??

    Nice rig, I had one. The SWR meter on it can be trusted. If the SWR is too high, it will lower the output power to protect the PA. What bands are you wanting to operate on?

    how to read ohms on coax??

    Bluestallion, mount your hamsticks. The use an SWR meter inline. Adjust the whip on the hamstick to get the lowest SWR reading possible for the band it will be used on. Many HF SWR/power meters are fairly cheap, I like the MFJ's. On one of those you adjust to the lowest reflect power. I use...

    how to read ohms on coax??

    how to read ohms on coax??

    Huh? That wouldn't tell one anything about the impedance of an antenna. Only the feed line.

    how to read ohms on coax??

    A DVM can only read resistance. Impedance is pretty much resistance when mesured with AC. RF is AC. Use an SWR meter. It will tell you what you need to know.

    Ammo sales....

    I noticed a member here ridiculing the price paid for a box of .22 ammo on here. The reason for the inflated price is because there is NO ammo available at local retail stores. My local WalMart has a big empty glass case with NO .22 ammo. Same goes for the next town over. Same goes for the...
