Yep - went for a look earlier tonight to see if he had any bids on his previous one. Looks like no one is willing to bid at his ridiculously high prices -...
Hi all, have a question about a multi tap antenna that a mate found in his "junk" pile. It is a 14 tap Terlin antenna without any freqs written on it, rather...
Matt, Phantom bidder may not help as he might end up with it himself. Makes it hard to relist it when you never really sold it. Top price for this, as its...
Agreed about Phantom bidder, but have seen it happen before (item gets pulled just before the end of the auction). I think that you are probably overstating...
We're all a bunch of cheapskates on here :))) I know I'd like one but.... Lets try and be objective. The unit is obsolete, you need a different one if your...

Fair call Jim - I get irritated when people try and rip others off and can be a little vocal about it. Something about that seller raises my hackles / makes...
Matt, I have had the same problems identifying whips. A few times. Many were made for individual mining companies, Govt Dpts etc. Sadly, most of the records...
... someone may ... Plan C (which I would probably have elevated to Plan B status, after first calling Terry if it were my whip) is a half-decent reflectometer...
Hi Matt, I would pay $1600 if I needed one. I have 3 so I really don't. The new one for the NGT is about $10,000.00. Previous ones listed on EBay Australia...
I used to do that until I found out that the whip designers often "broadband" their taps (by putting those rings on em). Cheers Jim ... From: ben To:...
... "broadband" their taps (by putting those rings on em). Actually those rings have nothing to do with *broadbanding*. They are in effect shorting rings, to...
Peter, I wondered when I'd get a bite :)) Yes they are there for the reasons you said. BUT Shorting turns externally does actually appear to broaden the...
Concur - problem is tha the antenna is in Canberra and I am in Darwin. Looks like it will be plan B followed by a variation of Plan C if B fails! Matt ... ...
Speaking of reworking whips, I've found some interesting effects when shorting turns internally and externally. Often there's nothing linear about the effects...
Matt, just as your post came in I was going through my whips and found a nice Lencom one. Some time ago I rang them and they gave me the frequencies, which I...
Matt, If you can get the whip to me, I can put it on the clubs MFJ and do a quick and dirty test for you/him. .... Phil, And I hope the "Inspection" went well....
I have used a noise bridge with some success, but you need to have an idea what frequency to start at. A vswr meter and tuneable vfo is helpful there. Cheers, ...
Evening All I've been a member of the group for a while, but haven't posted before. I have an 8525A, works fine with a tapped whip for VKS mainly, but am ...
The sgc auto tune works well with my perthcomms hf106, I use a whip antenna with a total wire length of about 18' (its helically wound - so is physically...
My *little* bro is planning a backpack walk and talk from Sydney to Brisbane to raise money for a kids charity. Using what he has, an Atlas210 and gel cell...
my 2 cents an codan X2 isnt all that weighty and a flexible roll up solar panel would do wonders but in reality its all too expensive for a charity walk...
My 2110 may be a tad too heavy :-( Chris ... Brisbane to raise money for a kids charity. Using what he has, an Atlas210 and gel cell battery (which wont last...
Hi, Personally go for the 9350, and no you don'y need the ad board. While i havn't had a great deal to do with the SGC tuner and from all accounts they are...
