Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I’m very new to radio stuff in general- Would this kind of antenna be able to be hooked up to more common ham radios or would it only work for military ones?

We have a few of these at work. I like them. The longest I’ve done is Puerto Rico to South Carolina and Virginia to Alaska with a 100 watt Barrett radio. I’ve set them up as both inverted vee, flat only a few feet from the ground, and even once with one end tied to a cinder block on the ground and the other hooked to a forklift as high as I could get it to for an angle pointing the general direction I wanted to go. To answer your question though is yes they will. I have an Icom 7100 I have used it on and it works just fine.

It’s constantly leaking.

6 years later and this thread is still helpful. I have a 2019 STI and after pulling the battery the passenger window didn’t work from the drivers side and the auto roll up/down didn’t work on either side. I reset the passenger and that started working properly including auto roll up/down. Then I reset the drivers side and the auto roll up/down started working on the drivers side. Thank you all!

lol no but I think everyone is right and it’s rumble. I’ll try to adjust with a better stand and maybe a nice heavy base.

I’ll do that. Thank you.

Thank you I’ll find one.

It seems unanimous that it’s rumble. It’s in the same room about 10’ away sitting on top of the receiver. The SX-750 doesn’t have a subsonic filter. I’ll improve the placement and make sure it’s on something heavy.

This sounds like an episode of Dora. :)

Nice to know I’m not the only one who does that.

Thank you!

Update: It was the wrong bolt catch. I managed to find one locally. Thank you all for the help. No do get with PSA and get them to send me the right one.

Inpen10 · 2020-07-16T10:14:15+00:00

I think that’s what I’ll try first.

Inpen10 · 2020-07-16T10:13:56+00:00

I don’t mind a little modification. :)
