For nothing on tv, I watched a few episodes of WICKED TUNA, enough of tuna fishing.
What caught my eye were the boat captains talking to each other, they were using 2 meters 145.00 for communications, sad state of affairs.

Short doublets and linear loading

$
0

Assiming there is no tuner or feedline loss would linear loading a short doublet antenna increase performance?

My doublet it 68 feet long. It is used on 80 through 20 meters. Would linear loading make any improvement in performance on 80?

Another concern is moving the current maximums lower to the ground on the higher bands or causing RFI.

Any input or comments?

Got a good buy on this radio (or so I thought). I knew the final had a bad rep, and sure enough, I received the radio, and no tx. Pulled the final, and it tested bad.
I sourced two replacements, threw one in, and I had tx. 3 swingin to around 6 on a.m. everything seemed fine. Flipped to lsb, keyed the mic, and got alot of static through the talkback on the ext.speaker. Gave it a aauuudddio and poof...nothin. Back to no tx.
Pulled the final, and it tested good. For the hell of it, I tried...

High SWR's, trouble with carrier on amp

I picked up a Fatboy 1x4 amp with a variable on the front. The amp is working great putting about close to 800 watts when all the way open. However I'm have an issue adjusting the dead key either with the amp's variable or from the radio. The dead key is stable up to about 75 watts with 1.3 SWR's. However once I turn it up any higher it will jump from a 75 watt dead key to a 200 watt dead key. The SWR's will go over 3. I want the dead key to be around 100, but I just can't do it. I can't do...
