Re: Antenna for UHF made in Ukraine
|
Hi all,
I would agree with Kevin's point of view, especially for the oxydation, PIM issue. However it is difficult to accept that we have no chance for making some serious? DIY antennas, in the DB style because of the harness problem, i.e find flooded cable and / or 35 ohm. With all this information on coax transformers, calculators, VNAs, experience from site installations... Are we condemned to only buy ready to mount antennas ? Are we hostages of diamond, comet and the like ?

Hold on a minute there John.?
If you haven't been following along - looking at the photos of the
actual Ukrainian antenna or you don't understand that copper
oxidation in coaxial cables in the common path of a duplex system
is a "really" bad thing - then don't defend the Ukrainian antenna
manufacturer - because it's truly junk.?
If you've been following along and you think the Ukrainian antenna
is fine and we shouldn't be knocking it - go climb in a hole
somewhere, because you don't know what you're talking about.
No one here is just blindly giving the Ukraine manufacturers a
hard time.

it is quite popular to disparage Chinese-manufactured products,
look in your pocket at your smartphone. Beautifully made,
state-of-the-art and highly reliable.
