N4SRQ posted a comment on WR1TX's poll:
Similar thing - took my FT-817 and an MP-1 on a cruise ship. There was enough ceiling to extend the antenna and I let the counterpoise hang over the balcony. You need a balcony room to do this .. had a great time and had a host of people to work....

N4SRQ posted a forum topic about Re: FT-817 :
I concur with KF7DPY, the 1223 works fine. It is not very noisy and you can use it with larger rigs. Personally, I use an Astron 70A to a Rigrunner (West Mountain Radio) and feed all my gear to it using the appropriate fuses in the Rigrunne...

N4SRQ posted a forum topic about Re: help UHF/VHF YAGI :
If you are looking for a store bought solution, Arrow antennas sells a 7 element 2M / 3 element 70cm for less than $150. I put mine on a camera tripod and track the satellite that way. The ARRL antenna book has a number of plans if you want to build your own. I have even had some luck using a hi-gain antenna on my HT without going the Yagi route - but that is mostly useful if you have a high pass and wont get you through the entire pass. Good Luck. 73 N4SRQ Stephen...

N4SRQ posted a forum topic about Re: Was trying to get my friend to reach repeater so we could talk :
Try listening for him on the input frequency. If he has a decent signal I would vote for the tone being wrong. Also, 40W into a dummy load doesnt go very far. If you can't hear him on the input frequency I would check the antenna. Does ...

There is nothing wrong with RG-58. Keep your feedline short and it makes little difference what coax you use. My XYL wont let me drill so I use a Diamond K400 NMO series. Built like a brick; and even handles an ATAS. 73 N4SRQ Stephen
