Tell them its 5000mW and think up a "power-name" for your dipole, or tell them the wire is Oxygen Free!
ReplyDeleteSaving those for April 1st - but you can borrow them.
Yea, that oxygen free coax is expensive, but it really helps! The other day I heard this on 17 meters: "My friend is having trouble on 60 meters. His rig works on some channels but not on others. I think it is because he is running a 1/4 wave dipole. I told him that he should put up a half wave dipole so he can cover the rest of the band..." Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteThe 100MHz DS1102E is a much better value (sorry to spoil the parade). There is a firmware "hack" to turn a DS1052E into a 100MHz scope, but it is pretty old now and requires downgrading your firmware to a previous version, which has drawbacks of its own. As a rough rule of thumb, your scope BW should be around four times the frequency of the signal you are measuring. So for HF work, a 100MHz scope just about cuts it.
ReplyDeleteEvery dark cloud has a silver lining. The 1052E broke! So I sent it back and ordered up a 1102E 100 MHz replacement.
