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

Birdies on VHF/UHF of the FT-817
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

Hi Julian,
Yes I have made A/B comparisons and I find the MP-1 superior on TX.
My friend G0EHX and G4MSF were the receiving stations when we made

Demetre,
Have you actually done A/B comparisons quickly switching between the
two, or only used the antennas at different times? I have done A/B

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

Re: USER REPORT: DX, ANTENNAS (MP-1), ETC!!! Long Post...
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

Re: Best Price FT-817 at Dayton Hamvention?
I got mine for $669 from AES at Dayton. I understood later that I

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

Depends on your cost of manufacture: R/D, parts, labor, packaging, shipping,
etc.
