Looks like a good plan. I have an Archer 20-021 Discharge unit that is for the same thing.
I am going to hook it in-line on the IMax 2000.

Awesome. We are looking for the clean, positive, strong signal. I am looking forward to getting my IMax 2000 up so I can do some real talkin' ! Blue Ox said that from the Heart of Lancaster County in the Keystone State. Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobile...

Blue Ox2

Absolutely. Audio is the best with a properly matched, well tuned,
and high enough antenna. The antenna is key. Without good ears
nobody gonna hear ya anyway.

TOO COOL ! You are one fortunate radio operator to be able to grab such a prize. Now, if you could put a 40' tower up there in the park......... 73 Pal, Blue Ox said that from the Heart of Lancaster County in the Keystone State.......

Well, I sure didn't score a Bonanza like that but I just got a Leader 8100 Oscilloscope at a pretty good price and I'm learning that. I am gathering things together to get my IMax 2000 up in the Spring. Also, I am currently having my Cobra 142 GTL Direct Injected by Perry Meyer and adding a foot swi...

Hope all is working well.

You'll be fine with the inverted V in there. Don't worry if the ends need to straighten out for a few inches, or so, either. JMHO. 73

Blue Ox2

I'm in an HOA and I put an inverted V DR-Dipole on my roof. I have also put the Patriot 12' on a Dish mount pole and there hasn't been anything said. In the Spring I am going to put the IMax 2000 up somehow. Just gotta get it up high enough. 73 to ya, best wishes for best rig you can have out there....

Hey there PA629, Now THAT is the kinda fun I miss. SOOOOOOO cool you could play with yer son like that. I guess today that would be considered bullying, or harassment.

Mr. Bubble,

The one you send to me, medium box postage due, will be the best one available

I always check the Shout box to see what is going on. If there were local forums for regional discussions that may work also. I enjoy speaking with all the folks in the Shout Box at any rate. 73 Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux Lapto...

I always thought there was a reasonable explanation.

Merry Christmas my friend.

I do live in an HOA that has all those rules. The antenna isn't connected to her property in any way. I'l show you the pic tomorrow in daylight. I saw another resident putting up a TV antenna with a rotor today. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevi...

Blue Ox2

I just added a Galaxy DX 2517 to my Doghouse Base and put up an IMax 2000 on a tripod out in the front yard. Can't wait to see how this excites the neighbors. Already had a neighbor at my front door complaining about the antenna. Life goes on.... 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cb...

Right now I have a flag mounted in a bracket on the light post in the front yard. It is up most all the time and I have a solar powered light focused on it for night time. I only take it down in strong wind for concern for the light post. This tripod I am considering doing is the same one I used at ...

Blue Ox2

Well, I have the HOA issue at my home-20 and so far I am getting away with a Patriot 12. I'm thinking of putting up an I-Com 2000 in the Spring on a pole and tripod in the front yard. Mount a flag on it, below the antenna, and put a light on it so I don't have to take it down, and then I'll be set. ...

Hi Texlonewolf, I use the Mc Kinley as a base radio with the Patriot 12' and D-104 M6b mic. Once in awhile that little RM KL 203-P is connected as well. Is a very good working little radio that is connected to a Pyramid PS7KX. 73 and good luck with your rig. Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http:...

Hey there Trapper, I'm also using the McKinley as a base radio with the D-104 M6b and the RM KL 203-P. This past week I had set-up a Tram 1499 antenna on a tri-pod outside the dining room of my dwelling in the Pocono mountains of PA. Figured it was up about 16' AGL. Contacted Ocala, FL., Daytona, FL...

Howdy Tx1Tec, Sure thing, I use an adapter on my President Washington with the Silver Eagle and I have an adapter jumper cable on my Cobra 142 GTL with the Night "K" Eagle. They work wonderfully. 73, Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/Linux ...

Awesome Lynx. LOL, I'm still having trouble getting out of the back yard.
Keep up the great efforts.

Howdy djhphoto, I use the McKinley in my base station set-up in the Doghouse base. It runs on either the Patriot 12 or the DR-dipole depending on conditions and moods, lol. Best wishes for GREAT DX and I know you'll have fun. 73 Mike [ Post made via Linux Laptop ] http://www.cbradiotalk.com/ext/snip...

Blue Ox2

Has there been any further explanation, or discussion, about the ferrite beads?

I have purchased several on Amazon to put on the coax and see if it makes a difference.

Hey there Robert, I have the Patriot 12 up on my place, and the Di-pole is still working well. My plan is to possibly get an I-Max 2000 next year. With the HOA here, going that high wih an antenna may be a difficulty. Not to mention getting it past the wife, lol. Glad your rig is all set and working...

Blue Ox2

Well, howdy there Wraith, and welcome to the group. There is a LOT of good information in the forum posts. I use a President Washington Base transciever and there is a good antenna called an I-Max 2000 that is real good for base station operation. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress. 73,...
