MA5B STRIPDOWN & HEX BEAM INSTALL
I decided on upgrading my antenna from the cushcraft MA5B to a Hex Beam. I did the vast majority of this on my own, and only required a lift from some great Club members with the Hex.
Footage is pants, so apologies for this, new camera coming shortly

    Hi guys I'm trying to tune my ma5b and I'm struggling could anyone help me please I've followed the manual but still getting high swr

  • @kd8opi
    @kd8opi Місяць тому

    Also, your tune is kind of great, better than the 90 kHz bandwidth than claimed on 20. Curious, when I bought mine 10 years ago, it shipped with the wrong hardware if you can believe it. The u-bolts were a size too small. They had a LOT of QC issues 10 yrs ago. Did you run into any problems?

  • @kd8opi
    @kd8opi Місяць тому

    Assume you use it for FT8 at 14.070, 3:1 SWR. With a tuner. You're losing 25% ERP. So instead of 3.6 dB, you're getting 2.7 dB; and a dipole is 2.1 dB. At first, this looks kind of disappointing; and no doubt about it, it is. But, then consider the FTB of 20+dB. The noise floor drops by 3 bars on the S-meter from everything else except what your pointing at, and you still get a 70% increase in ERP with 2.7 db. Its still a win. I had one up for years until a tree took it out. Except for the fact they've doubled in price since 2012, its still a great deal. A beam, not a rig, makes your shack next level.

    i built the same antenna over 10 years ago she is still up and in good working order, feed point is about 1 foot above ground and i only use 2 ground rods and once i trimmed antenna to get a good swr starting from the 40m side then you then tune the 80m side, once thats done then add your 80m trap then trim that for good swr on 160. You do get other bands thrown in to but i found once i added 80m trap for top band then i did loose some of the other bands but the tuner soon sorted that out. Fantastic antenna.

    hi i have just made a multi band delta loop and its only about 8ft off the ground on my two 10m poles and the swr is 1.0 on 20m 2.1 on 17m and 1.5 on 15m 12 and 1.0 on 10m and i cut it from 76ft to 68ft and just need to put it on my two 7m poles i have and if its a little to long to fit on the poles i will wind it down the poles so ill let you know how i get on from m7byf

    I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now. It works so well that I cannot tolerate to use my radio without it. The only drawback I have noticed so far is that very very weak signals get clipped or completely cut off, so you have to adjust the slider when hunting weak signals. It may also be due to the fact that the app needs more use so that it better learns my noise, as is stated in the user guide, it takes a few days of use to get really good. In any case, I’m already very happy with it.

      ME TOO. I love that app, but I'm tired of trying to be accurate keying on a that disc. Just got my first key minutes ago; a Putikeeg Paddle. Trying to figure out how to start using it through my computer thru my audio interface, until my MX-K2 arrives. I've seen a lot of Demo's on youtube for protocol. Look for "POTA activation". I'm not quite ready for that, but it should help you instructions.
