The technician from the utility company that has helped with checking the surrounding utility poles contacted me a couple of months ago because the utility company was doing electric meter replacement in my city. He let me know the day and approximate time that the suspected rfi house was going...

The clicking and hash is 24/7. Does not matter the time of day. Always there.

Greetings all, About 2 years ago a serious static and clicking issue started at my home base that makes enjoying our hobby almost impossible. Channels 1 thru 40, am and ssb are the same. A friend with a mobile ham rig says there is interference in the 10 and 12 meter bands as wellI. I went thru...

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to give such in depth explanations of my question.

I use 3 different radios off the same antenna and coax system. My Yaesu and Anytone 6666 show swr's from flat to 1.2 from channel 1 thru 40. These readings are from the built in radio swr meters and my Daiwa cross needle swr meter. Readings are consistent. The Yaesu has a built in power supply...

Before going thru all this trouble are you sure the Stryker S meter was accurate?

Absolutely! The radio worked flawlessly for 3 years then I'm hearing radio checks and 10 codes on the lower side of 38 and 40. I'm glad I checked the frequency, but boy I feel like a twit. WWDX comes to the rescue.

All is well in quad 6 land. Frequencies and channels are back in sync. Thank you all again.

Thank you for the info. I will do this in the morning.

When switching between the channel number and frequency on my Anytone 6666 it seems channels 38 and 40 are 27185. The rest of the channels seems correct. I double checked that I was on 'D' and then listened to 19 and then 38 and 40. Sure enough, although the channel selector said 38 or 40 it was...

Marconi, After all of your years of research, personal experience, and reports from other users, which version do you feel provides the best overall performance? Avanti Astroplane, Targa version or Sirio Tophat? By your video the Tophat certainly seems to win in the noise floor category.

Marconi, The noise floor on the Top One is fantastic compared to the origional Astroplane. What a difference! Thank you for the video.

The antenna is well made and very light weight. 3 pounds or so. Easy to hoist and setup.

Jtrouter, I know I'm probably looking for a needle in a haystack but maybe I will get lucky and find one.

Here's the tech sheet that came with the antenna.

Purchased the Targa in June of 2020. Shipping hurt at $79.82.

I purchased the antenna directly from Targa. It took a few weeks from placing the order to delivery.

After having my Gainmaster fail (low rx and 3.0 swr all channels) after 5 years, I put up my Sirio Vector 4000. Everything was great then the screws on the main center shaft began backing out and the shaft collapsing down into itself. Took the Vector down and retighted all screws, adding lock...
