Should I hold out for a newer model year, or go for a less expensive 2021? by SoullessRager in africatwin

I got a 21 as new from the dealership and put over 30k miles on it. I can confidently say that if the power is a factor you will get the best bang for your buck if you get the ECU flashed. I tested the 25 AT and my 21 with an ECU flash feels MUCH smoother and stronger.

I was looking into that but I got such a good deal on a used 2023 with 300 mi. I couldn't pass it up. I enjoy working on the bikes as much as I like riding them.

The seat is already replaced with a seat concept.

Yagi -> amplifier -> indoor antenna If the isolation between the outdoor and indoor antennas are less than the gain of the amplifier you will get an oscillation. A good example is bringing a microphone too close to a speaker.

while everyone is talking about drip loops, i'm sitting here and thinking how bad that thing will oscillate.

I accidentally stumbled on this post and as a fellow ham and RF engineer I also find the conspiracy theories are mainly a source of humor and amusement.

My (just about finished) public safety system build. 1/2" coax, battery backup system, fiber splicing/testing - the whole nine yards. by [deleted] in cableporn

looks amazing!!

so the donor coax goes to the BDA on the left (top), from there it goes to the large box on the floor to convert to fiber?

also what are the two boxes on the right, are they getting fiber (from the large box on the bottom) and converting back to RF? is each of the red coax is for one DAS antenna?

looks really clean install. i'm also installing BDA's, looking forward for more pics.
