Lscott Posted May 16 Report Posted May 16 As usual somebody has an over the top mobile radio installation. And some here complain they can’t find a place to mount one or two radios? Maybe they haven’t tried hard enough. WRTC928 and FishinGary 2 Quote

Lscott Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 This is just part of the flea market area. Sitting in the grand stand area taking a break. Quote
Lscott Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Buying some antenna stuff. Got the Diamond NR240CA wide band antenna just to screw around with. Picked up the optional spring lower section for the Comet CA-2x4SR wide band antenna. Finally got the super flex dual band antenna with the BNC connector to use with the HT SMA/BNC adapters.

It's been interesting following the FTX-1 pre-order drama online, I guess. People walking into Hamvention and walking out with one, while pre-orders have not been shipped yet. Seems like HRO is shipping out orders now though. GreggInFL and WRUU653 2 Quote

That 2x4 is a pretty remarkable antenna. I get good performance on GMRS, 2m, and 70cm, and the SWR/Smith graphs are nearly perfect on MURS and 1.25m as well. The graphs don't show how well an antenna can transmit on a given band, and I'm a little skeptical that one antenna can perform well on 5 bands, but at some point, I'll try it on 220 and see what I get. It would be great if it could do 220, because that would mean I can put the Anytone tri-band radio in my little car and use only one antenna. There are tri-band antennas out there, but so far, I haven't found one that gives me good SWRs on 140, 440, 220, and GMRS. I don't want to give up GMRS, so I'd need another antenna for it. I don't care much about MURS. It's nice to know I have the capability if I need it, but I've literally never used it, and I'd give it up for good performance on the other 4 bands. Quote

There is a similar antenna from Diamond. It’s the NR240CA. https://www.diamondantenna.net/products/NR240CA The full spec’s are in this PDF file. https://www.diamondantenna.net/static/pdfdocs/NR240CA.pdf Quote
