    When I was in the Air Force, I was assigned to a TDY (Temporary Duty ) assignment where we were doing some very sensitive stuff, and your setup looks like some of the stuff we did, known as a Kluge Board. That was the first time I found out you could send Ultra high RF through a square pipe...

    I haven't built the antenna for it yet. There are plans for a collapsable Loop Antenna that sticks out the top of the radio and it has a 360 degree map so you can keep up with your stations.....If you don't move the radio to another spot. In one of the other photos, on the right side of the...

    I finally found a photo resizer for the Mac-OS, and I just knocked them down to 600 X 600, so I could probably go a little larger. However, if you click on the first photo, it will enlarge, and there is an advance arrow that lets you see all the pic's without having to reset eveyone... Benny -...

    I have been playing around with the 27-2 channel, and today they are showing 55-58% quality, although there is not any Video or audio. The other 27-xx channels are all showing the same quality, along with normal video and audio. Do they have a sub-carriers on these digital channels for a...

    I can switch to either antenna or feed all 3 together. I have 2 Yagi/Uda pointing in opposite directions. Then above them, I have an ultra-long UHF antenna pointed parallel with one of the other antennas. I tried one of the less expensive antenna switches for combining but they are crap as...

    Charlie...That's a very good rundown of my system channels...kinda like "Reading my Mail" on CW. 27-2 has been down for 2 days now. I usually get 55 78% quality reading. Why don't we just have an "S" meter then we could have a 10 over 9 to go by, Hi HI....Do you have a rig in your apartment...

    I started out with a K5 call, and went to Korea, and was assigned HL9KH, while there. I understand now you just use your USA call with a suffix. Don't know what they use now. I got back to the states, and women and hotrods got most of my Radio money, so I had a 12 year lapse, and started all...

    Rabbit...I can get what you are saying about hitting the info button twice. That gives you the quality of the signal. In the attachment I sent you, it gives the signal to noise ration (SNR) in percentages. Look close at the screenshot, you will have to click on it to bring it up, but that is...

    OK.....Gother going...I had the pb/pr cables switched...I'm still wondering if you need 100% cabling. I would think the HDMI cable would carry everything you need, but all it does here is change the screen resolution... Benny - W5TYZ
