[amsat-bb] G-5500 and ST-3 interface for sale

2013-04-20 Thread John / NS1Z
Just a quick note: My G-5500 Yaesu rotor and ST-3 interface are for sale. Very good condition and working perfectly. If you live close to 34488 (Ocala/Silver Springs FL) I have the fiberglas cross boom I will include at no charge. Asking $650 for all.

Domenico, There are two solutions to use coax to combine two 50 Ohm antennas. 70.7 Ohm cable (50 to 100) [Two 50 ohm antennas transformed by two lines to 100 Ohms each, in parallel = 50 Ohms] and your suggestion using 35.4 Ohm cable section (25 to 50) = [Two 50 ohm antennas connected in parallel =

Hello Domenico, Art and the -bb, My comment here is with the ARROWS antennas. I think one thing is overlooked here. We are dealing with two antennas on different frequencies. And yes in this it may work since 435 MHz is 3 times the 145 MHz. So 1 quarter wavelength on 145 MHz becomes 3 quarter

Hi Art, KC6UQH Feeding a 50 ohm antenna with a odd numbar of 1/4 electrical wavelenght of 75 ohm coax cable you transform the 50 ohm antenna impedance into 100 ohm and connecting two 100 ohm impedances in parallel you get again 50 ohm to supply the system main fedline to TX and RX but using this

Domenico, Loss for a 1/4 wave resonant line is small. RG 4121/2 5/8 and 3/4 inch 75 Ohm line for CATV is very low loss. If you build your own Coax the impedance should be 35.4 Ohms for your preferred match. 73, Art -Original Message- From: i8cvs [mailto:domenico.i8...@tin.it] Sent:
