As a certified master technician, I would go with alternator whine, diodes failing. Most ignition systems are coil on plug now a days, the high voltage is sent through a big Faraday cage called the cylinder head. Lose one out of six rectifier diodes in the alternator, you can see the frequency change on a analyzer, lose 3 you can hear the whine with your ears.

I managed to touch Simpsonville tonight, a little rough but forty miles from me.

Not Being mean, but pretty sure I mentioned this % posts ago.

Ground it to house electrical ground rod by the meter. If use use a ground rod at the antenna, bond it to the house ground also.

You would love it! Peach and Apple orchards around here!?

Even if it does, I can't get there until I log in which there is no option to sign up for.

OK, will have to try the Android phone. I installed the PC one and it never asked me for a sign up, but more annoying is it starts asking me to log in everytime I turn the PC on with no way to do it. I will kill the app in task manager until I figure it out.

Move to the country and build a tower!?

This thing is great for GMRS, but the county I live in is still analog for Public safety, This beats all my modern scanners on receive. Being on the edge of Greenville county means the pickens signals are week, but not any more. I set band B to pickens rural fire and never miss a call.

Computer, the app takes me straight to the login page, no place to register.

I am trying to log in, but it never asks me to sign up. just goes to enter username and password. I am lost please help.

I Ordered this push up pole from Home depot and it is a tank. got it today and it is heavy and more than capable to handle a big vertical,. Love it something from China that might work. New 30 ft. Aluminum Telescopic Flag Pole Kit Flagpole 3'x5' US Flag & Ball Top for Commercial Residential Outdoor

This one, but upgraded to the wanderer controller. https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-200-Watts-Volts-Monocrystallin/dp/B015DEY2TM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=JQ2BBMBVYVTD&keywords=200%2Bwatt%2Bsolar%2Bpanel%2Bwith%2Bcharge%2Bcontroller&qid=1681165702&sprefix=200%2Bwatt%2Bsolar%2Bpanel%2Bcharge%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3&th=1

I will have to look it up. The setup has been in use for 1.5 years. It all came from Amazon, but I upgraded the charge controller from the one that came with the package deal.

Now all you need is some adhesive heat shring to finish the job!?

Yes Sir, this is not my first rodeo, but worked the first time for a change. Maybe in my old age I am getting wiser! Doubt it.

I did trim my tram 1486 according to the chart and getting 1.2 to 1.3 across the band for SWR.

Jerry rigged my antenna until the mast gets here and hit the Pickens repeater with now problem. Had a nice conversation and had good reception reports. We tried the Ceaser's Head repeater I could hear them but they could not hear me, to be expected since the antenna is blocked by the house to the north, Great sound good people and I think I will like this! Thanks for all the advice, it seems to have worked.

I have not seen a donate button, how do I do it?

Forums cost money. My time is money and so is your's so to have the info you need you can spend many hours digging up yourself or you can pay a very small fee and have it available to you and support the site at the same time. Pretty simple math, With no disrespect, you just sound cheap and want the info for free.

Have you been there? It is hams that operate it and it is the ham police headquarters if you ask a question. Kevin is the only cool one there. Go ask a question about using a baofung there, the ham police user will jump on you in a heartbeat. I am a member and like the info there, but you have to step lightly there. And radio reference and the number of posts in all of is no way a scanner only forum, have you looked at the topics? thousands of posts from long wave to microwave.

Use DSD plus fastlane with your dongle for the best public service you can get, 35 Bucks for lifetime and it handles simulcast better than any of my scanners. 10 Bucks for a year if you want to try it.

SAD HAMS!?

I use a 200 watt panel and 3 group 27 marine deep cycle batteries and after a week of cloudy days I am still at 13.7 volts. I have a 10k gen for the house, but the batteries are just for radio stuff.

I have my telescoping flag pole on the way. It will be secured to my second story deck railing and a five gallon bucket of concrete for the base then secured to the fascia board 8 feet up. On top will be my tuned today Tram 1486.? A 50 foot run of Times Microwave LMR400 to the wouxon 1000g and the house service ground directly below the deck.
