Sorry for my mistake. It's iMac 27 inch model 2010.

@@pawelorlowski3515 if you followed the test procedures on this video and you still have no output voltage, then your power supply is faulty. You can repair it or buy another on eBay.

The problem is that the radiation pattern is distorted on harmonics…

@@ct7ahv ALL antennas distort the higher in frequency above the native length.

Theorically yes, more segments would give more accurate results, but on HF segment it makes no difference. The “standard” is 10 segments per half wave.

Yes 10m of wire will be resonant on 40, 20, 15 and 10m. I know that half wavelengths must be avoided because they make the tuner develop high voltages inside. In this tuner, operating up to 100W is safe for the tuner. Less than 10m of wire will have poorer performance to work on multiband.

@@ct7ahv Hi Pedro, ok, I just thought I should mention it that it's better to avoid the resonant lengths of wire. I have a CG-3000 myself, which I occasionally use. The tuner is situated at ground lever and an almost vertical situated wire of 9 meters is the antenna wire. I use a ground-rod as counterpoise. It does work, though it seems to be a bit of a noisy antenna (most verticals are, apparently) not being symmetric. Anyway, trying out different antennas and experimenting with them, is always interesting, I think. I myself am quite intrigued by "magnetic-loop antennas" I'd say, enjoy the hobby, but I'm sure you do, looking at your QRZ-com page. 73 de PC7H, Roy.

Thank you for your comment my friend! Wishing you a happy new year and best 73!

@@ct7ahv 💯🎸👍👍👍

Yes it is! I have a dedicated ground for my station.

@@ct7ahv i wonder why the ground couldnt help minimize this Common mode interference issue. Usually u dont need a choke if the RF ground is properly installed and has an impedence lower than 25 ohm

@@Mark300win the common mode current flows on the outside of coax shield and it doesn’t care if the radio is grounded or not. Grounding the station’s equipment only matters for operator safety and for static discharge, and obviously to prevent ground loops and non-equal zero potential

Hello, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately I can’t take pictures of the installation because the equipment has been sold… 73

Mehmet thanks for your comment! Actually you are using a resonant length with very high impedance on the end! You can damage your tuner because very high impedance means very high voltage inside the tuner and capacitors and relays can start arcing! Decrease the length to 16,5m or increase to 30m and you will be fine. I never tested the tuner with more than 100w. My amplifiers deliver up to 2,5KW so with only 5w in I get 400w++ output and will be too much for this tuner. If you look hot higher power tuner have a look on eBay for n7ddc 1KW antenna tuner. Hope this helps! 73!

Obrigado Gonçalo! A minha ideia é apenas partilhar aquilo que me faz sentido, pode vir a ajudar alguém! Forte abraço

Oi, eu fui buscar alimentação ao conector que o rádio tem para ligar um acoplador externo, a alimentação nesse conector é chaveada!

Ok, já mandei buscar o PAT12M. Certamente precisarei de ajuda, e conto com a sua valiosa experiencia e gentil disposição em atender. Vi que vc está no QRZ. Sérgio - PY7SV.

Boa Sérgio! 👍 quando precisar de ajuda pode contactar-me! Um abraço e boas festas

To what board? TX-RX board of the radio?

Yes would also really like to see a close up of the solder tap points. Would like to see if only the center of the coax was soldered to the radio PCB.

The3DMoviemaker I made a lot of tests and measurements by myself, I tried different core mixes and stacks, made calculations of measured S-parameters... If you want a magical recipe to make a good RF choke, no, I don’t have it! Move your ass and start reading and learning about RF chokes, then start making some tests. When you have some juice come back and we can talk about your difficults and you can make all the questions you want. 73´s de CT7AHV

Bruce D já tenho uns 6 vendidos e 3 em uso na minha estação

CT7AHV Pedro me passa o link do site pra eu verificar

CT7AHV Pedro caso venda.

Bruce D eu fabrico por encomenda, normalmente não consigo fazer stock porque os pedidos são muitos. Pode contactar-me por e-mail para [email protected]

Bruce D recebo 3 a 4 pedidos por mês e o máximo que consigo entregar são 2 amplificadores por mês, fora os amplificadores para VHF e fora as antenas!

PU2XBT I sold my TS-590 and I purchased an Icom 7300. I prefer the 7300 because it has bandscope and voice memories that are very useful in contest!

Obrigado Bruno, 73s!

Kenwood TS-590 or Icom IC-7600

Olá Rodrigo, Obrigado por comentares, estou de facto muito satisfeito com a prestação da antena e com o seguimento em frequência que o controlador faz! Relativamente á prestação da mesma, peca um pouco na rejeição frente-costas mas é compreensível por não ter reflector. Comparativamente com outras direccionais que tive e utilizei é superior ás Hy-Gain e Optibeam de 3 e 4 elementos nos sinais com que chego e com que recebo. Estou a planear no início do próximo ano fazer-lhe o upgrade e instalar mais um elemento! Um abraço 73! Pedro CT7AHV
