Hi Gang,
Over the next couple of weeks, my shack (including tower/antennas) will be
getting a MAJOR upgrade
Right now, I've got a A-D DX-EE for 10-40m, an SB-230amp, all being driven by
an FT-1000 MkV field (and an at-1000pro tuner)
Well, the radio and tuner are staying the same, but that's it
Antenna wise, there is a Glen Martin going on the roof (I live on a small lot),
and a C3SS and DX140 going on that (antennas will be delivered on Friday)
Anyway, the other big change - a freshly re-tubed/caped an Alpha 78 - for
those bands where I don't need the tuner (or turned down for when I do)
Think is, everyone says "You MUST have a peak reading watt meter to safely tune
them".
OK - No problem, I buy a meter. I love the Alpha meter (friend has one), but
no way is that in the budget at a grand. I could get a peak reading kit for my
bird 43, but
So, what do you guys think?
I'm thinking the Array Solutions looks good - others? Just put a peak kit in
the bird?
