I have a scanner and a 430-450 mhz ham. Has anyone ever used two right angle bnc connectors together? I want the antenna to go down the side to reduce size and increase portability (keep inside pocket)... if this aint good, is there any other suggestion? ------------------------------ Date: 5 Apr 1994 02:15:01 -0400 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!news.ans.net!hp81.prod.aol.net!search01.news.aol.com!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu Subject: SGC tuner To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu In article , greg@netcom.com (Greg Bullough) writes: >Does anyone have anything *bad* to say about this beastie? Gee, Greg, sorry. A military contractor I used to work for needed an automatic antenna tuner for some (relatively) older Collins HF radios. They originally were going to buy some mil-std tuners for $20k a whack, but instead they were steered to SGC. At $600 apiece, they are HAPPY CAMPERS! Saved you some tax money even! ------------------------------ Date: 5 Apr 1994 06:16:38 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!yeshua.marcam.com!hookup!news.sprintlink.net!indirect.com!kg7bk@network.ucsd.edu To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu References , <2np476$9do@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>, Subject : Re: CQ Article on TH11DX Daniel T Senie (dts@world.std.com) wrote: : Not to mention that a yagi has other desirable proerties, such as front : to back ratio, and side lobe rejection.

But I was not talking about Yagis... I like Yagis and Quads but think HF log-periodics are a waste of money and I think the TH11DX is a waste of money. I am in the market for a 5 band beam and it'll probably be a Quad. 73, Cecil, kg7bk@indirect.com ------------------------------ End of Ham-Ant Digest V94 #92 ****************************** ******************************
