Alinco DX-SR8

None of my Alincos ever worked correctly with several different LDG tuners. They make an Alinco interface cable that is supposed to initiate a tuning cycle when pressing the radios tune button.

My DX-70TH didn't

My DX-77 didn't

My SR8/T didn't

You have to turn power down, throw a dead key or CW carrier and initiate a tune that way, or jabber on SSB to tune. Whatever floats your boat. Called LDG and they don't give a shit cause it's an Alinco.

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
