Wrap your head around this stuff

You guys want to do a couple things with sma connectors.

the first is use the proper wrench to torque them down,

second is when you use adapters, you have to be careful to make sure they do not have a lateral load on them.

 

Now you're scaring me. This is something I would expect Rabbi to post... Lol.

 

Naw, rabbi ... pfft!

you’re doing very well on the subject.

Well that's normal since resonance is frequency dependant. I wouldn't waste too much time and money on it, since you can't change the law of physics. If you talk the most on channel 1, then that would be the frequency to focus on. Or any other single frequency of choice. But since it sounds like ch 19 works the best, I would just leave it as is. I think a lot of guys would love to have a mobile antenna system like yours on their trucks. Especially with the readings you have on the analyzer.

 

just figure I would post it here too ...

 

Where was he when this happened? That matters a lot.
