    You really shouldn’t suggest than Generals should transmit on the very edge of their privileges as some of their signal will go below. The same should be said for transmitting on 14.350. We have privileges UP TO that freq but not past it. Your signal is not so narrow as to stay legal that high up. Also, you didn’t really show much more than how to read a meter. That shouldn’t take this long. Thumbs down, baby.

    hmm would it matters if i’m drying my socks on my 20 meter bipolar antenna ?? and should I suggest that it consume some paxil ??

    You are not supposed to be tuning up on frequency!!!!just hook it up to William’s ears and you now have a dummy load.

  • anglitoestebancito:

    don’t you suppose to place the swr meter as close as possible to the load(antenna) to get the most accurate readings?P.S . and I do not mean physically close.

  • 20351MA:

    Si, but not very practical to put the meter outside at the antenna. Besides, the real issue is antenna efficiency, not line losses.  You can get a really good SWR reading on a really bad antenna. The radio will be happy, but you wont talk to anyone.

  • mullahaliackbar:

    You can bleed onto  your neighbor’s TV with these!!!! Even funnier to set off alarms with!!!!! Get a nice linear amp and BOOM!

  • slartybardfarst52:
