    Taylor .64 Wave Ground Plane

    Sounds like a Penetrator 500, except for the "coil"! The Penetrator 500 has a wire gamma system! There is another version called a CLR2, I think, which had a circuit board inside of the base! I have two of the P. 500s-( one brand new), and love em. Don't tell anyone but, I think they are the...

    Why echo?

    There's a couple stations here that run way to much echo and reverb, in my opinion! I run my echo as low as the knob goes! My opinion is that it adds texture and depth to a other wise bland tone! Ever hear an award winning singer in person, without studio enhancement? Have fun

    I want the straight Scoop!

    All radios and amps I've ever seen use what I'm calling false advertisement! If they used avg power numbers, we wouldn't be so likely to spend our hard earned cash.

    The 5/8-Wavelength Antenna Mystique

    I picked up a never been assembled Penetrator 500 for $40.00 last night. The guy threw in a used bottom section of an old one. Good deals don't come very often and it's great when it happens. Oh and picked up 163 ft of 7/8" Heliax for $100.00 with the ends installed and 160 some ft of 1/2"...

    dual base antenna's?

    I ran stacked PDL2s back in the eighties! Eighteen foot apart at seventy two foot elevation. This is a great setup, being tight and a ton of gain. I'm now running a PDL4 element. If I have the room, I'd stack a pair of these puppies. Nothing ventured nothing gained!! Have fun.
