Re: [Repeater-Builder] Mobile antenna installation help/fatigued metal
Gary I agree with you on the below when it comes to an officer using his 2 way radio while on Duty... But there is a double standard when it comes to hand held Cell phone use while on duty and driving... I highly doubt that an officer while driving and using a hand held cell phone is using that Phone for Public safety or for police business. Talk about abusing the law.. I was Riding northbound Route 130 from the Burlington Bridge and an Off Duty State trooper in his personal car in uniform passed me Doing well over 80 Mph in a 40 zone On his Cell Phone. (he almost ran me off the road) When I caught up with him at a long Light I yelled over to him have a Nice day and Don't kill anyone By speeding... He smiled said Be careful on that Bike too many nuts out here. then gunned the gas as the light changed..

It all may now be moot because, We all should be aware of legislation being proposed in many states such as Driving While Distracted or Inattentive Driving laws. These new laws will curtail mobile radio operations. CT, NY, NJ and DC already have laws prohibiting people talking on cell phones while driving. A proposal in NJ while not yet introduced for voting but being formulated: New Jersey clarifies that a distracted driver may be charged with reckless, careless or unsafe driving when so warranted, a law enforcement officer may charge a person with a violation if that person, while operating a motor vehicle, engages in distracting behavior including, but not limited to, the use of communications technology such as wireless telephones, pagers, facsimile machines, locator devices, AM/FM radios, compact disc players, audio cassette players, video players, citizens band radios, and dispatch radios; engaging in personal grooming; consuming food or beverages; reading; or tending to unsecured pets. So heads up, be careful, keep one ear to your state capitol and the other to the mobile rig while driving under those low hanging tree branches. Soon we may not need mobile antennas. Gary K2UQ Yahoo!

You could scale the part values into a low band range. The Z matcher is a pi section filter/tuner/match circuit with a diode sampling line section built in.

Laryn K8TVZ I remember seeing that thread, but no one ever posted a concise explanation of how to do that. Is best efficiency of the amplifier -- when you get the maximum RF power out for the least current draw? That sounds fishy to me as overly-simplistic, so if this method truly is better, someone may wish to explain it fully...? Or... is having a Z-matcher slapped on late in production a typical American company style fix... Just slap that thing on and they'll think they have a fix for the problem? No offense meant to anyone involved in adding it, it's more a jab at the American business process where old products are neglected vs. new products. Knowing that the Z-matcher was added late in the MASTR II PA's life says two things to me: 1) Someone found and finally documented and quantified a real problem with the design. 2) GE may or may not have fixed that problem properly, but saw the problem as big enough to make a change. Of course, that's the LOGICAL conclusion, and U.S. companies constantly surprise me and do illogical things, like fix problems that don't exist to counter the (false) claims of the other guy's sales and marketing pukes. The real story could have been: 1) Hey boss, someone at company M keeps telling people our PA's blow up. We found a small problem that affects like 5% of the deployed units out there, but it's not really that big a problem. 2) Good, it'll give our sales guys something to say that we fixed. Ship it. Who knows...? Someone does. Does it matter? Not really. How do you properly tune the thing for maximum efficiency is all inquiring minds really want to know. :-) Nate WY0X Yahoo!
