Hopefully will be on later tonight. Moving the dipole higher up. Got the new mounting point set with zip ties, and BROKE MY WIRE SNIP ON THE PLASTIC ZIP TIE! made in china...go figure.
EDIT: On the air and testing. So far, all SWR's are good, no major issues. Center feedpoint is at about 40 feet AGL, ends are about 15 and 10 feet. More of an inverted vee at this point. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the ends higher. Will hop on later tonight. |

Just finished raising/moving the other end of the dipole. It's now much more a dipole than an inverted vee. old termination point was a tree about 1 foot from a metal barn roof (best I could do). Now it's about 15 feet from the roof, and about 15 feet higher. 
I'm sore as hell, but ready to test it out. Previously, I could not tune on 30m. It now tunes without a problem. I just hope I didn't lose any performance in the process. ETA: off the air for a bit. Will be back on a little later. |

I'm now in digital mode. MT63-500. 7034 dial 750 center on waterfall. Will monitor for CQ ARFCOM for a short while. |

| could hear plenty of stations but couldnt get a contact. this vertical i have built is pissing me off. on 40m its below 1.5:1 across the band but i be damned if i can get out. i need to get a power meter and make sure this radio is putting out what it should be. |

Display Shift: Finally, depending on how you wish the display to respond, you may program in a corresponding display shift, using Menu Mode No-036 [DIG DISP] This is only for digital mode. Which is good, as only my digital mode is off. Tuning to voice signals, I'm on the ball. |

I'm on 7.259 now.
Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I'm off Now...odd. My at-100pro2 tuner can't tune my 40,20,10m dan dipole on 20 but does great on 10,15, and 40. The tuner also cycles despite having tuned a frequency when I key up after calling my first cq. |

The tuner also cycles despite having tuned a frequency when I key up after calling my first cq. My tuner cannot tune 10, but 20 and 40 will tune to 1.5:1 or less. 15 tunes 1:1 in a heartbeat. Are you tuning on the frequency on which you call CQ? |
