I'm curious if this antenna is the same as the GPA-80FHP (1kW) 80-6M GRP HF Vertical by moonraker. They look identical. Currently I have an EFHW 10-40m and wanted to try a vertical. Have you attempted to see how it would perform on a mast 20 or more ft in the air? Are the radials required if it's raised more off the ground? Thanks for the video.

High SWR

4:1 Balun is for balanced line (balanced to unbalanced) - like a doublet fed for ladder line. You should be using a 9:1 unun (unbalanced to unbalanced)

Your SWR is about 4:1 on peaks.

I have the same radio with a 75ft 'random' wire on a 1:9 balun (transformer) and a 17ft counterpoise. The ft-991A internal tuner will tune that down to 1:1 or 1.5:1 on ALL HF bands. However, I have found that there is a commonly reported strange grounding issue that can cause the internal tuner to fail to get a match. When this happens all I have to do is grip the case from the right side with my right hand and squeeze the bottom panel upward whilst also initiating the tune - then it works every time. I observed that even with your external Ant. tuner you still had 3+:1 - I would not transmit at 99W with SWR that high, you will be online looking for replacement final output transistors soon thereafter.

Great video

Great radio 📻 I have one myself 💯✨

Very cool 73. N1SCA

Dude, that antenna is trash and your whole setup is trash. Don't mislead newbies with stuff like this. You're on a linked repeater that has (probably) line of site to the building youre in. You could talk on it with a wet noodle for an antenna. Doesnt mean your setup is good. Now someone who's new to radio is gonna see this and copy your setup only to have horrible performance and realize they wasted their money and time.

What is the correct interface in the menu on the 998 for the fdxt10 ?

I like your grayline map with your call a sign. Thanks for sharing. 73

Hey friend. I have this same Tranceiver, Tuner and Amp. How did you go about wiring it up? Do you have remote band switching working on the ALS-1306?

Are you still happy with this antenna after nine months?

People have been asking about Netlogger and its use on the net.

great job 73 from kb2uew

great job congratulations 73 from kb2uew

take that cover off and show us exactly what that 6 meter switch does............please!

Hi, Thanks for working our club and multi-multi contest station OT5A. 73

What is the best? Mfj 902b or Mfj 16010?

thank you!!! de yt3d

Many tnx for calling us.Greetings from Greece 73 de SV2DCD (J42L)

And now FCC has clarified that linked repeaters are not within the rules for GMRS.

Please what différence with the DSP2 ?

Good luck, I just got mine setup and connected to my MFJ-939 antenna tuner and it really struggles to tune this antenna. 160, 75, 40, 18, 15, 12, 10 and 6 meters are a real struggle to tune up on and 160, 75, 10 and 6 are unusable. Interestingly enough the antenna tunes up easily on 30 and 20 meters. When I received the antenna the third mast section that has the spiral wound wire around in had the plastic shrink over the wire scraped off for about six inches, the wire didn’t appear to be damaged so I ordered and along piece of shrink tubing the nicely covered the exposed wire. I’m now thinking that there might have been damage to the wire and I’m going to check it today for continuity.

What is inside the box?

guessing all these network are gone these days

Are you in Houston. Antenna looks nice!!

I had this radio and when on street was cold bottom didn’t work on tangenta

Zello is a joke, it’s full of Aholes

I believe Lauro is becoming a celebrity of sorts, among ham radio operators. I think I worked him three times in the last few months. 73s!! KJ5GIH 🇺🇸🤘😎

I'm going to be moving into a apartment soon I just bought a ultimax 100 24ft it will be inside so I would say it will be better than no antenna at all.

I am pretty pissed off because the price has gone up since I contacted Sigma Comm. About 24 months ago ?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I wanted to buy this plus kit but was discouraged from making a purchase???????

I have this antenna1 kw, Sir Paul from sigma comm. told me the plus kit will not handle more than 100 watts, I have the e-mail. Go figure????????? KJ7TBR JohnBoyUtah 😎🇺🇸🎙📡

And this isn’t on a node?

Really cool! Just got my license (extra) and getting on the air. I have a G90 as well and looking forward to making contacts like this one!

That WI station was linked to my repeater back when the Texas network was part of Live. Did not expect to find this.

Great video. I made contacts all over the country and down to Panama on my G90 and a 10-meter $64 Sirio vertical. 73's🎙KD9OAM🎧

*_Kenwood type ???_* .

How did you unlock it to transmit on GMRS

Not bad man👍

Love them little rigs👍

Daaang nice antenna 👍

I was told by Paul at sigma comm. that the plus kit is no good with an amp???? I have the antenna with the 1kw unun and a 500watt 811 amp ! He said the plus kit will not work??????????? JohnBoyUtah KJ7TBR

Great radio

Looking good 😃, thanks for sharing 👍

Had the antenna for five years and works good.

Yesterday on 20 meters band, with my g90 in FT8 and 20W, vertical car antenna, connection from Italy to a Argentina. About 11.800 km 😊

I have worked several Spanish stations long path from South Australia on 20m SSB just using a Ziegu G90 (20W) feeding an end fed 40m 1/2 wave wire (~15-20 feet high) via an Unun and a home made CMC choke. The wire loads up nicely on 20m, 15m and 10m as well as 40m. The inbuilt G90 tuner even matches the wire on 80m and 160m tho' not as efficiently 😀
