Thanks for the info. I have the mast grounded. But I haven't figured out how to ground the radio. My radio is set up in my bedroom on the 2nd. floor. The antenna is right outside my bedroom window. Could I run a ground wire out the window down to the antenna ground ?? Our would it do any good...

Hi again ! I was just looking over my last post. I realized a made a couple of mistakes. 1st. of all I had a swr reading of 1.5 not a .5 and my power mike is a D-104 not a D-109. But I'm sure you guys picked up on that anyway. 73 to all !! :sick:

Antenna Update : Antenna is up and running. I used 2 lengths of 10' chain link fence " Top Rails " and a 5' length chain link Terminal Post. I had a couple of 16' long 4x4 laying around . I cut 1 length in half and buried it in concrete about 5' above ground and about 2" apart and bolted the...

Thanks guys. I didn't know that some meters did not read swing. & die electric grease on the a99 joints.I bought a cheap meter to check my antenna match. That's why I can't get the swing reading. I picked up a Realistic Navaho trc459 am/ssb with a D104 power mike. From a local cb shop at...

Hi I think I made the mistake of buying a Tram 1499. no ground plane antenna. It picks up a signal good, but it don't send more then static. on my base radio. I mounted it outside on the top of my garage, about 40' up. I used 100' of Rg8u. [suggested by the manufacturer] I got a pretty...

Hi Slim Thanks for the help. I found it now. Thanks again ! 73's

Thanks for the advise guys. I couldn't figure out how to start a new thread. I was thinking about putting up an IMAX or a 99 but I didn't know if they would work without the ground plan kit. And I think my neighbors will give me a hard time if I have to use a bigger antenna with the ground...

I think I made the mistake of buying a Tram 1499. It picks up a signal good, but it don't send more then a mile. I mounted it outside on the top of my garage, about 40' up. I used 100' of Rg8u. Got a pretty good antenna match 1.5. I have a old Pearce-Simpson Jaguar 40B. It shows 3.5 watts...

Thanks For the good Info. Rick330man I guess they are good radios. I put 8 of the cheap Dollar Store batteries in it and they wouldn't work. So I tried putting 10 cheap batteries in it temporally and it worked. I guess the cheap batteries don't have enough power. Thanks Again !!!!!
