It will get a bit un stable. Try using the exciter in the radio it may have
a 1/2w exciter.

MaxTracs don't like running below about 1/4 their
rated power. Power control is erratic and they tend to
get dirty at the lower levels. You'd be better off
with a low power radio and an attenuator between it
and your PA to drop the level down to 1/2 watt. The
MaxTrac will still get hot, so you'll

Assumably the owner of the tower wants as few non-earning antennas on the

contact me direct
I have to agree on all points. In my limited travels, I have seen a lot of
questionable plating and dielectric materials showing up on all sorts of RF

If you trying to tie two Micor Stations together, follow the

We did that here and it works flawlessly.
As I remember, takes 5 wires to complete it successfully.

That's what they've been doing on 2M when they can, as Joe mentioned
they use 20Khz when everyone around them is 15. Including Ontario.

You are right, it was a typo...

Just so we are clear... the center conductor
will try to migrate through the foam in sharp

Simulcast can happen on 2 separate frequencies using a device to do it.
Then it's not simulcast anymore. Simulcast is transmitting the same

many clamp-type connectors pull apart, usually because they were
over-tightened during assembly. Take a close look at a MIL-spec clamp-type
