Re: USER REPORT: DX, ANTENNAS (MP-1), ETC!!! Long Post...
I Hi Julian, I honestly do not know why the coaxial balun does not work for you. I followed what N2CKH suggested (http://www.qsl.net/n2ckh). When I mount the MP-1 on the FT-817, I do not use any

Hello all, Has anyone found a fix or cure to this problem? I get quite a few birdies on both VHF and UHF bands on my FT-817 when I use the rubber duck antenna, and some are also present when you

Re: MP-1 Mobile/Portable/Pedestrian SuperAntenna for FT-817
I would expect the MP-1 to work quite well in a mobile set-up if it is provided with a decent ground to the vehicle body. All the problems I have experienced suggest that they are caused by

Well, saying it won't work at all is partly a result of frustration, but it won't work any better than the cheaper and easier to use ATX and I can't get a decent SWR on most bands. I have it on a

Re: Loop antenna
There are optimal loop sizes for various frequencies. Yours seems too small to have good radiation efficiency on 20 meters. Maybe 10 meters or 6 meters would be optimal. I'm too lazy to look up the

Re: Best Price FT-817 at Dayton Hamvention?
I got mine for $669 from AES at Dayton. I understood later that I could have gotten the same unit for $639 at HRO, but the $669 wasn't bad. I had AES ship it (free) to avoid the sales tax. I also

Re: Unexpected Frequency Offset with Filter
Michael Dirska, DL1BFF noted Michael was 100% right -- using USER-U instead of PSK31-U solves the problem. The filter does end up with a passband from 1000 to 1500 Hz, which works very well with
