Re: internal SWR meter
Any smoke yet? Or is it all gone already? ;)
The bars on the SWR meter are, at best, relative to each other. That
is, 5 bars means higher SWR than 1 bar, but that's about all you can

Many years ago myself and several Hams (KB4CRT,K9IJ,K4WSB,WB4IOA, and maybe a

Re: Random Wire antenna
Reading your question again, I realize now that you already have a
tuner. Usually, the standard "Pi" or "T" network tuner has a
connection point for a single wire, so I think you probably

Re: Random Wire antenna
My standard "in the field" antenna is a 50- to 75-foot length of wire
(15 to 20 meters long) with one end pulled up into a tree. I connect
the wire to my trusty old MFJ model 16010 L-network tuner,

Re: Random Wire antenna
I suppose there are many configurations that will work. But here is one that

Random Wire antenna

Re: MALDOL whip - SWR kinda crummy?
Nope, with the 20 meter Maldol mounted directly on the FT-817, I get 4 to 5
bars in on the SWR display and have been completely unable to adjust that or

Re: Modest output HF amplifiers.
You could also look at RM products in Italy. They do CB (25-30Mhz)
amplifiers , but also VHF and UHF and some have HF capabilities.
Power from 30W-to 500 Watt with 1-7W input.
Look at model KL203

The reason for the SG237 Smartuner to start the tuning process again
might also be an old software in the EPROM of the 237! You can write
