[Repeater-Builder] New-Tronics Hustler Heavy Duty VHF/UHF Antennas
I would appreciate hearing comments on the Hustler Heavy Duty Antennas from those who have experience with them. Specifically, I am asking about the following models: HD9-43050 HD6-5 HX6-14448 Performance? Durability? Maintenance? - JimF K6IYK James T. Fortney j...@fortney.org

You must remember, that the average IQ is 100. Of course that means that half the population of the world has an IQ below 100.

Think about that when you are on the freeway or voting!:-) You've also got to remember that many corporations require equipment to be destroyed rather than sold. Often it's because the items are fully written off and selling would constitute a profit that costs more to account for than it would return. It is particularly true of the original manufacturer who has taken items on trade and has (IMNSHO) an irrational fear of old product competing with current production. -- mailto:o...@ozindfw.net Oz POB 93167 Southlake, TX 76092 (Near DFW Airport)
[Repeater-Builder] RE: New-Tronics Hustler Heavy Duty VHF/UHF Antennas
When the Hustler Heavy Duty antennas came out some years ago one of the repeater groups I am on the tech committee on ordered a new 2 meter antenna. It arrived in good shape and all. We took it out to the tower and had issues. We tested it and it did not resonate in the 144-148 band it was like 155 MHz. We contacted Hustler and they shipped out another and it was still out of the ham band. Both antennas were returned. We put up an Antenna Specialist ASP-602 dipole antenna and it's been on the tower for over 10 years and no issues. I would recommend if you order antennas that you have some one that has access to a good antenna analyzer look at the antennas before you take them out to the site and have a tower crew on the clock. If you know a cell tech see if he can use his Anritsu Wiltron on the antennas then you will know they are right... I work for a cellular carrier and have a Anritsu Wiltron on my company truck its nice to have access to this type of hardware. Paul R.

[Repeater-Builder] FS: Wattmeter / Dummy Load
ME-82/U (military version of M. C. Jones Elect Co model MM-625). 50 - 600 mhz, 52-ohm, 120w (metered). Tested OK, unmodified, good condition Pix avail. $40 + shipping from northern Florida. 73 Walt (N4GL)
Re: [Repeater-Builder] FS: Wattmeter / Dummy Load
All, I'm looking for a dummy load, but with higher power capabilities, minimum of 500 watts, 1KW would be ideal. I'm generally on 2 meters, but on occasion I have worked with groups using 220, 440 and have done some commercial work as well. I don't need the metering, as I have a Bird 43, but if the load already has one, that's fine too. Zip is 53051, north and west of Milwaukee Wisconsin. If anyone is willing to part with one, please reply direct with asking price including shipping. Some pictures would be nice. My email is dkupfers at sbcglobal dot net. All replies will be answered.

[Repeater-Builder] Inline coax connector style impedance matcher
Dear Group, Somewhere I saw or heard of a inline coaxial impedance matcher. It looks like a barrel connector but it actually has an adjustment on it for adjusting or trimming SWR between devices. It is placed inline with the coax ,between a driver and amp or between duplexer cavites etc, and adjusted for 50 ohms in instances where the coax length is not optimum. I thought Digikey made them but cant find it. If anyone knows about these and where to get them let me know.. 73
Re: [Repeater-Builder] More on GMRS - Fwd: FCC NPRM proposes complete part 95 rewrite
The comment period for the NPRM ends July 7. If you have not already filed comments in opposition to this radical re-write of Part 95, which would essentially turn the GMRS into more channels for FRS possibly open those frequencies up to businesses, PLEASE do so immediately!!! The most effective comments are those written in your own language, and citing your experiences with GMRS that make these rule changes unacceptable, i.e., the limits of simplex operation therefore, the need to retain repeaters in GMRS, particularly for public service/emergency use; the behavior of children young teens on FRS and unlicensed GMRS use that makes the elimination of the age requirement untenable; the need for licensing to keep voluntary coordination interference resolution possible, as well as to retain the professionalism that currently exists among licensed users, etc. Even if you're NOT a GMRS licensee, PLEASE help us defeat this!!!

[Repeater-Builder] GE continuous duty amp
I have a VHF HI 40 watt continuous duty amp that is surplus to my needs. Would anyone be willing to trade for a 6 meter version? This is a working unit that was removed from a station conversion project.
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Inline coax connector style impedance matcher
It's called a Z-matcher. No place like Digi-Key will have. Telewave, EMR, Decibel, Sinclair, Comprod, TX/RX I believe all make/made them.
