    I Got My New MFJ-259b

    Would it do any good to use one of these on the radio end of my coax just to see where I'm at, or would this give false readings. I just did the standard swr meter thing on the P500 before I put it up!

    Different Look At 102" Whip Discussion

    I remember back in the day, that rat shack made a ball mount for the 102"! I had the ball mount, heavy spring and flat swr! I think the ball mounts are still available. :thumbup1:

    Antenna grounding

    This may be lame but in a way it is tied in! All my equipment is earth grounded through the third plug on the cords! Before I get thrashed for that comment, I am going to add a couple more rods and bond everything together including the electric company's rod! My problem is that the electric...

    Antenna grounding

    If you dig a small hole-(just about six inches deep) and fill it with water, then put your ground rod in the center of the hole and work it up and down. Keep the hole filled with water and you can sink the ground rod to depth by hand! I didn't believe it either but after setting a eight foot...

    Moonraker IV

    I picked up a brand new MR4 the other day! Someone has taken part of the boom, but the plastic bag of parts is unopened and like I said this has never been assembled! If your interested in some of the parts I would do some trading to get you up and running! :whistle:

    what radios have the best ears ?

    Friends use to think I was ghost talking on the Mark 4a's. I've had tons of radios and maybe this set was an exception, but I could hear for days!!!!!:thumbup1:

    Shure Mic hookup

    I have located a Shure SM57 at a pawn shop! I'm also interested in trying to clean up my audio. Would this be a good mic to start with?

    Damn CBrs

    After seeing cb operators getting dogged once again on a post, I'm curious! How many ticket carriers started with CB and how many went straight to ham? Let's tell the truth here! It like hearing a truck driver cussing four wheelers, when that same truck driver drove a cage to work!

    M4V power supply?

    I'm running a old penetrator 500 at 36' too the the base. I had just totally rebuilt it and it's 10-8. I'm still undecided what too do about an amp. The four pill will do for now. It picked up a 70 amp Astron to run it.

    M4V power supply?

    Now I'm starting to wonder if the M4V is worth the possible trouble and definate expence too run on the base? The magnum 4000 just doesn't have the reach out and hammer someone power though. Don't get me wrong, three hundred watts gets me across town but I've always liked have a hammer...

    Wanted 100 amp ps

    I'm looking for a good 100 amp ps to run a M4V on the base! I do have a RCI 2950DX too trade with cash too boot. Thanks.

    M4V power supply?

    I don't have a mobile set up in a mobile! I drive a Co truck with a radio only stipulation. When I first hooked it up on the base for smoke test purposes, I had a 3 watt dead key from the radio with the high low driver switch on the amp on 10 watt. Amp on low! Keyed up around 250 watt dead key...

    M4V power supply?

    You can't tell by the pics of the M4V but it has both the copper strap and the heavy rod over the pills-impressive!!! Another thing that bothers me with this amp, is that it doesn't have a fan! By the sounds of it, it could use one.

    M4V power supply?

    Your right! I had a brain fart in my other post and said it was a 6000. :blushing: Wishful thinking I guess! The 4000 does well though. I can't tell what pills are in it because the ground strap has them covered! I'm hoping to find a big enough p.s. and maybe trade my 2950DX for it...
