Re: Antenna Connectors and 6 meters
The SWR should not change between the connectors, nor should one BNC-to-UHF adapter make a noticable difference even at TWO meters. Check the shield termination on the PL-259 on your antenna coax;

Re: Antenna Connectors and 6 meters
Alan -- I have tried a dipole on Six before, and was not very satisfied with the performance. I don't know why it didn't work better. My current antenna is a Cushcraft 6m Ringo, which is 5/8

Antenna Connectors and 6 meters
I have a dipole for 6 meters with a so239 connector. I have attached to both the rear and front (via a 239/bnc adapter) and have noticed very different SWR characteristics depending where I have it

Re: Increasing 817 Power Output
the Dxpedition" Dear Harry, DON'T DO IT!!! Even if you double the power, at the most there will be half an S- unit of difference... At the same time, the quality of the signal will be severely

Re: MALDOL whip - SWR kinda crummy?
Here's the straight skinny on a cap hat addition: It'll do more for tuning just above the coil, because it's closer to ground, but it'll add more to the signal at the tip. Closer to ground, it has

Re: Increasing 817 Power Output
the Dxpedition" Hi Harry, Best not to increase the power beyond the specified level to maintain the life cycle of the rig. If you are going to operate SSB, then get the optional SSB filter and

Re: MALDOL whip - SWR kinda crummy?
Oh, I clipped at the tip of the whip, a capacity hat. Are you saying it will have a greater affect if it's just above the coil? Well, what the heck, I'll try it, it's just a matter of moving a clip

Re: alignment menu curiosity
If set up as specified in the service manual, the radio considers the radio to be "off frequency" (in the non-FMN mode, anyway) when >3-3.5 KHz off-center. This "tuning" status is obtainable using
