    Equipment question, Tuners, amps and ft450d.

    Amp to radio is fine, just a thought that came to mind. To me it would work and I wanted to ask as I could not find anything on the web looking quick.

    Equipment question, Tuners, amps and ft450d.

    11 meters for now. and the Amp has an in put pad (just in case, and to keep me from over doing it...), and I can safely put 100 watts pep. But why.

    Equipment question, Tuners, amps and ft450d.

    I was just going to put about 35-40w pep from the ft450d into the 4 Toshiba Trans. (2sc2879). and call it good, maybe even drop the input power to 25-30w pep. and just float along. as clean as pos.

    Equipment question, Tuners, amps and ft450d.

    Ft 450d with built in atu will feed the amp. The Amp will feed the #2 tuner (mfj 986). And thank you.

    "Antenna Tuners" "L" type, "T" type...I need some clarity please, what works best?

    So the networks used in the MFJ 989D is the same as the MFJ 986 ? With the "Air core" in one the add talks about "no arcing", and with the other they talk about The bigger coil..., so there is less arcing.

    "Antenna Tuners" "L" type, "T" type...I need some clarity please, what works best?

    Thank you . I was looking at some videos on how to use the analyzer to find tuning spots on the tuner. The ATK1500HB (Palstar) can be found at all the ham shops, I found them first at gigaparts. I just don't get how it "better" or how/why the "N" net work is better then "T" net work.....Why all...

    "Antenna Tuners" "L" type, "T" type...I need some clarity please, what works best?

    So I'm looking for a Antenna "tuner". I tried the LDG atu, and did not like it. I think a "manual" would be best for my base. I just don't get all the ways of going about it. There the N, T, types, and then I was looking at the Gigaparts write up on the Palstar AT1500HB. The Palstar1500HB is...

    Pot grow noise

    I really do stand strong on this. The home owner (or renter) needs to be informed about the problems that they are making, and maybe given a list of parts to fix. Med. pot is not the problem, the persons growing are the one that made the problem by not fixing there gear. Maybe the growers will...

    Antenna Builders! Copper?

    After reading this thread... so far today I will chime in. Back in the 1970's my Dad helped me build a 2 el. beam for 11 meters (cb). The way my dad did it (I looked and acted as a kid helping...) was to get copper tubing that fit over the aluminum tubing we had from my old wind killed 3 el...

    Is this worth my time, MFJ-1789 ?

    That would work here very well in the summer but winter would kill it on day one here in N.W.MT. I have been doing some looken and I think I can put up: a long wire (all band)at 50ft, at the feed point, and I can go150yds on way at45 to 50ft., and the other way I can go 50ft out 100ft at 50ft to...
