Phil, I understand your point. But, if I were to mess up again somehow, then I'd not have any more replacement grippers to switch. I suppose I could buy a spare socket. But I'm not sure if or where t
True enough ! sound pressure levels on the db A scale. They ran something like this, although my recollection of the numbers may be slightly off, by a matter of a few dBA. 80 dBA - unlimited time of
I switched to external speakers, with an equalizer and audio amp added to tailor the sound, along with my timewave 59+, and keep the power supply not only on the floor, but a good 7 feet away. 73 de
That does not affect the impedance mis-match between the feedline and the antenna, and also the rig, in the examples given. 73 de Gary, AA2IZ because _______________________________________________ T
I've seen the "long delayed echoes" people report, and they almost caused me to run away from the rig in fear ! :) But I've not seen "short delayed echoes" of the sort you report here. 73 de Gary, AA

One listens not to the two tones, in an effort to discriminate them, but rather to the slow "thrummmm thrummmmm...." that repeats at very low speeds when you get the tones close. That is, the amplitu
I think the point being missed here by one of the posters is that if the feedline is really excellent....like the 1/2 inch Heliax, or perhaps 450 ohm transmitting ladder line, or less radically, perh
Exactly Hey guys: In his book, "Reflections", Maxwell states that all power fed into the transmission line (minus line loss) is absorbed by the load, regardless of the mismatch. Secondly, with open-w
That is an excellent example of the kind of trivial loss I was talking about. Good choice of examples ! 73 de Gary, AA2IZ mis-match. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing lis
((Some content deleted)) Your point is that the better the feedline, the lower the losses, and open wire feedline is best. All true and I totally agree. The point is, if you use the very best feedlin
Well, I would not call it an antenna tuner. It does not affect the electrical properties of the antenna itself. The antenna's physical properties do not change either. So, if at the operating frequen
Well no, you still will not alter the antenna. Its still the wrong length or whatever it was in the first place. You just transform the impedance out at the antenna, before the feedline, rather than
Right you are ! In addition to my beam, which I love dearly, I also have a 160m full wave loop. It's only between 25 to 40 ft above the ground at various points along its length. I have never worked
side it O2, low. Here is my two cents....the above is obviously true. Heck, if I take my old Corsair II, connect it to a good antenna....no signals at all on the band, and turn all knobs to the righ
That's right. At Kodak we did similar testing with a similar result years ago. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma

An opinion way off center, and then go away and refuse to talk about it ? I think we don't need this behavior on the reflector. I want to about 2054. In my opinion it should never have been released
I agree also. I find excessive Bass response (well, I call it excessive, YMMV) is unpleasant to the ear, and it wastes energy in the wrong part of the spectrum when trying to work DX or a Contest. I
