WRPH745 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I am working on a satellite project. I have two turnstiles that I will mount in my attic. Each antenna will connect to an 5w HT which will then connect to a Digirig connected to my computer. This will be an always on installation so I will be using a battery eliminator for each radio. Any suggestion on what HT to use? As suggested by the title I am looking at the TH-UV88 and the GT5R which both have an available Battery Eliminator.

Why yes, I have one 70cm turnstile for smaller animals like squirrels and a 2m turnstile for larger animals like opossums and raccoons.

Not sure if I should take that seriously, or as a joke... "Turnstile" is, as I recall, a twisted, circular polarized antenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
