A matching transformer might have helped Walt, though a separate ground on the antenna side would help further. A ground rod in your luggage might raise questions also, hi. best wishes, Nick At 07:15 24-01-16, Walt wrote: That was my mistake. A 30 ' random wire fed into the SDR IQ

So true! I sat down last night and built a couple more matching transformers. I had none to spare before I left, so now I'm back up numbers. They're easier to make in bulk, it seems! 73,...Walt On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > A matching transformer

Once again, congratulations Gary, better nulling than the 100mm length one, but somewhat larger diameter, is that correct? How does the weight and balance vs. the PL-380 compare? Amazing stuff to be sure. best wishes, Nick At 13:40 23-01-16, Gary wrote: Hello All, The first of the new

First a word of sincere thanks to Gary and others who have pioneered the development of the FSL antenna movement. And while I hesitate to add to his “To Do” list, I would like to encourage Gary to write the addendum to the article that details the construction of this version. My primary

Dittos. Such fantastic work Gary. One super minor suggestion. The part number on the Ace Hardware level could be helpful in case a local store might need to order and maybe a shot of what it looks like "on the shelf" Amazing work and attention to detail 73 Russ Johnson K3Pi On Saturday,
