    Great video Eric. Redesigned the antenna base a bit to make it a bit smaller and added a wing nut to the wire side to swap out pretuned elements

      By the way, I think I told you before, I have the IC-7100 I got for Christmas in 2019. Use it as base right now! On a 20M end fed!

    Love the end fed! Really like the 3D print too. I'm using an EF from an ARC in HI. It has been in my attic for a few years and does pretty well from WA.

    nice video Eric. I am working with End fed half wave portable antenna as well. using a 49:1 and 2 stack of T 240-43 ferrite and that 100 PF 3KV cap. I cut wire for 12 meters and have a counterpoise . great tune .less then 1:5 SWR. I am in NY . 10 meters was down a tad but 12 meters was wide open. lots of FT8. running 250 watts FT8 hours and ferrite was cool. nice job with that 3D printing. I bought 3D printed winder base for T 240 and SO 239. I 2 stack the cores and #14 PTFE wire. I got pink wire from DX engineering . also got a spool of DX commander DX 10 wire. the only band that not open is 6 meters. for me that spring/summer. 73's

    Insert negative comments here.....its crap it doesn't have a tuner, its only 10 watts, it doesn't have DMR, it is too expensive....hehe...good video Eric. i love my 705. Used it a lot this year activating 142 parks in Nebraska....I do like that I can put GPS data from it for sending POS reports on Winlink, also pulling GPS time for syncing clock on CPU for FT8, it also can upfdate your POS automatically for roving but have now set that up yet. keep up the good work...73

    I'm just starting to get into making antennas just curious on your thoughts what would happen if you doubled or tribal full length of the antenna I'm wondering if it would pick up weak signals better God bless you 73

    Nice video. So how do you like that Go Case? How's the durability and the functionality,? Im still thinking about buying one myself

      It's all I use. I literally unzip this thing and use it wherever I am. He did a fantastic job with construction.. I know the price is a little high but you get what you pay for. Can also put the tuner inside if you wanted to

    Do you have a choke for that antenna, Eric? From my experience with mine, I'd add a small choke about 15' off of the end near the radio.

    • @TK4619
      @TK4619 7 месяцев назад

      It is made for qup and usually if you are using a 50ft rg58 you dont need any chokes on the line
