Hello From LDG Electronics. Yes, we acquired S9 Antennas last weekend (March 12, 2011). It will take a few weeks do get everything back up to speed. The...
I have a 43 with the LDG Z-11 ProII mounted at the base. My only ground radial so far is a 85' straight sprinkler pipe running a few feet away. Works great so...
Just heard about the LDG acquisition of S9. Sounds like a good marriage. I have a YT-100 tuner that I use with my FT-857 and will be getting a second YT-100...
I was looking for a yahoo group before my purchase last week. I'm glad I got the antenna. It looks like LDG isn't selling it at the moment... and we will...
I just saw their price increase for the 43' vertical!!!! oh no! I should have ordered it last week. I wanted to see the quality of my 31' before hitting the...
I agree,$200 is way too much..The DXE can be had for less than $200 and it includes the tilt base and free shipping.I wouldn't pay $200 for the S9;actually,for...
The price increase is ridiculous. I could understand raising it some but 35%? John was great to work with too - I hope he got a good price for the company. I...
I read that with the tuner at the base it was not necessary to use the unun. I bought it anyway just in case but have not used it. Sent via DROID on Verizon...
yeah,the ONLY reason to buy the S9 43 was the price;but now that's not even in the mix unless you want a light portable 43' vert.(actually the S9V43 is under...
so the antenna wire is just hooked to the center and the radials are hooked to the shield ? and it tunes up on what bands ? I would have thought the swr would...
Hello goddardcat, The price raise for the S9v43 is only 18% and when we get it through distribution, it will be more like %14. Only a few stores sell at 100%...
Dwayne, My apologies for not posting my name and call. I purchased my S9 for $139.99 last November. I was conservative and by my math, which could be wrong...
Bill, Thanks for the additional information. The only missing part was the previous owner was charging $21.95 for shipping. HE only sold direct, so the price...
KB0NAZ, Thanks for the comments. We found the same thing going through the inventory this week. The S9v43 is really 42'4". Not sure what effect that will be,...
Glad to hear it. I was ready to order one this weekend but I can wait. I need to run some conduit, get some radial wire and pound in the support pipe first. ...
Pat, That looks like a great unit. I've never seen one, but looks nice. The only other one that I have seen recently is the Palstar AT-Auto, but I'm not real...
What I'm looking for is something that can be mounted outside at the base of my vertical with control wire back to my Icom7600/AL-80b Amp.. Now while ICOM does...
The S9 is very flexible. I guyed mine about half way up with some strong nylon cord attached with a couple of zip ties. I have 3 guys and the antenna made it...
Well I am certainly not having to survive a Kansas storm out here in SoCal, but we have a good one blowing right now. This will be a little test for my ...
Hello Cwaaums, There will be many dealers. We're just now getting the stock built up and we will produce a list of those that will carry the products. Dwayne...
I thought it was a little shorter than that,just under 42' when I measured it,(even John had it listed that way on his web site)but I may have had a section...
Anyone using one of the 43ft models with the 80 or 160 coils? I'm looking for something light and easy to take to J68 for 10 days. This antenna looked pretty...
I think you're right... he probably had the 43' version priced a tad low. I'm glad he was able to sell the company. It shows that he developed a product that...
