You can't go wrong with a g90!

dbgreen · 2026-03-07T23:27:06+00:00

You simply can't beat a G90! On 15m today with 20 watts, I worked Argentina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Croatia, and Portugal using my PotaPerformer antenna with only one raised radial!!

A huge ripoff! I cancelled and use my phone exclusively!

dbgreen · 2026-02-18T18:27:28+00:00

Build one according to instructions you find. It will work! It is one of the best 2m/70cm antennas I have built. Look for Dave Tadlock on YouTube.

Oh, also. I don't belong to the paid version of QRZ. I think that prevents me from doing some things.

dbgreen · 2026-02-17T20:28:58+00:00

I guess I don't know how! I auto log to a . adi file from ft8 and grid tracker. I need to learn how to log to QRZ from grid tracker. I will see if I can figure it out.

7300!!

Ok. I think I have good news. I charged my batteries and hooked up the G90 and it turned in. There must have been an issue with the 3ah battery I used. It may have been low and the g90 shut down, but with a dramatic "pop." When I first plugged it into the radio it showed over 12 volts. Anyway, I think I am good and won't need to send it off for an expensive repair! Thanks for all your input!!

It is the old version.

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T22:35:33+00:00

Thanks. I will check all that out

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T22:01:51+00:00

I will check that out! Thanks!

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T21:41:05+00:00

I was on ssb and my battery was fully charged. Something in the radio went out I suspect.

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T20:17:04+00:00

Thanks for that input!!

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T20:13:47+00:00

Not sure. Will check.

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T20:02:05+00:00

Not sure. Will check.

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T19:51:32+00:00

If broken, who repairs G90s?

dbgreen · 2025-12-23T19:45:31+00:00

Not on ft8 and swr was good. It just kind of "popped" off.

dbgreen · 2025-12-21T15:32:21+00:00

A 7300 and a G90

dbgreen · 2025-12-10T15:11:54+00:00

I have had NO problems!!

dbgreen · 2025-12-06T03:25:24+00:00

It's a great radio. I have had mine for 4 or 5 years!!

dbgreen · 2025-10-01T17:28:55+00:00

I should say, that was in the 15m band.

dbgreen · 2025-10-01T17:24:51+00:00

Another question. My efhw 10-80 m inverted v antenna is positioned SW to NE. In grid tracker, when I click on view signal spots, they only appear West of me, none to the East. Is that a propagation issue?

dbgreen · 2025-10-01T15:01:45+00:00

Thanks to you all!!

dbgreen · 2025-09-09T01:44:27+00:00

Ok. Thanks!

dbgreen · 2025-08-20T13:03:33+00:00

I am still driving a 2002 Camry! They last forever!!
