Hi Guys: I've been working pretty hard on getting my transmitted signal improved. I have stacked F12 C3's (45' and 75' which appears to be a good compromise distance) and a new Acom 2000A Amplifier w
Hi: Has anyone out there used a C31XR on multiple bands at the same time? In other words has anyone used the 10 meter portion of the antenna for radio one and 15 meter portion for the second radio at
Has anyone replaced the bulb in the control head for a G1000SDX lately? What type of bulb is it? Any advice would be appreciated. -- 73, Richard Thorne - N5ZC (Ex. KA2DSY, N2BHP, WB5M) Amarillo, TX -
I'm toying with the idea of getting a R7000 or a good mobile antenna (High Sierra Screw Driver type) for my home qth. I'm currently using a remote set up using a Kachina 505dsp in remote control with
Thanks for all the replies on my previous question. Still not sure what I'm going to do. I may just build a quarter wave 20m vertical and parallel some other bands to it. That would be the inexpensiv
Hi: I've been working on gathering the parts for an antenna switch/two radio control box. As I go through the design I keep coming back to the connector problem. I'd like to use DB-9 or DB-25 connect

Does anyone have any experience with the 500 watt auto tuner by SGC? There expensive but it would be a nice addition to my 500 watt remote controlled station. I'm thinking about putting up an inverte
Thanks for all the replies on the SGC-235 tuner. Bottom line is thumbs down on the tuner. Appears that SGC customer service is non-existant and is a head ache to get any help from them. My search con
