My shack mess.. and new bench.

Wow thanks LC. So it goes at the amp output? I run different amps off of the same antenna, could I just put it on the coax where it leaves the shack? I am going to check this out right now. Sorry for the hijack OP,I will start a different thread for this.

No, at the feedpoint of the antenna. The idea is to stop the current from flowing down the outside of the coaxial cable due to skin effect at RF. The ferrite beads on the outside of a length of cable at the feedpoint creates an RF choke. The concept is also known as feedline decoupling.

Got the Alinco HF back up and running today, I still need to get time to make 1 more coax cable for the KW TM-v71a..

Moving along..

Current setup.. SWR meters up top, 1 CB and 1 for Yaesu 757GX..

Using McKinley till the Anytone AT-5555 gets here Monday night..

Don't mind the old Sharp 23 channel on right on bench.. actually works well.. that's got to get packed up..

The A99 is up and running as well. 1.1-1 or less SWR.

Current setup..

Looks great!
Just need invisible mic cords. Or better yet, a single cordless mic that works great with all radios. (The guy who invents one of those is gonna make a fortune selling them to OCD hobbyists like me.)

Boom Mic with Muti-Radio switchboard

Also, I've worked hard to have a pretty backyard and the wife doesn't really want wire strung across it. Actually, neither do I.

Life is to Short for QRP!

Looks OK Chris...work in progress
All the Best

K3,
I spot 4 HT's in your setup. All Baofeng UV-5R's?

Cool! Those are really popular.

Nice setup but I do question the "Export" and why its use. The Alinco and or the Yaesu will run circles around that export.
