RFX75

Wonder how it would do on my general lee?, currently i deadkey 12 watts and get about 45 to 50 actual watts on swing. if i could just get my dang SWR readings down from 1.8 lol.. seems nothing i do is getting them lower

 

yea i know the omegaforces come with them already installed when u buy them and they put out about 95 watts so i would most likely just to about 80 actual watts im assuming. but then again none of that really matters when my swr's are high lol

 

wilson 2000 trucker, mini8 coax on a ftl columbia mounted on the mirror with heavy duty mounts.... DK is 1.8 will swing to over 2 lol... it could be worse i know but i want it lower lol

 

I think some radios are difficult to get the SWR lower than others. I once had a Cobra 148 GTL and a Uniden PC68LTW both fed into a 102 whip using a 9 ft. piece of RG8X coax. 1.2:1 SWR's all day long both radios. Then I swapped over to a Ranger SS158EDX using the same coax and same antenna....and 1.7:1 was the best I could ever get it.

 

No I havent, But i always did assume it would be a ground thing lol, need to get to radio shack and try doing it that way, once i do ill post the results. thanks.

 

I was told that it is a waste of time putting them on a dual final 10-meter radio.

I can't speak for the General Lee, but I installed one on a Connex 3300 single final, and it only puts out 60 watts, plus it gets way too hot.

The best luck I have had was with the Cobra 25 and 29. I just installed one for a driver on a Cobra 29 LTD Chrome and it was modulating a little over 125 watts.

The 29 was checked on a brand new watt meter that read great when checking a Messenger 250 watt amp.

 

Save you're money on the RFX-75 and get your match down to 1.1:1. You'll be better with fixing that match that you will be with those few extra watts of PEP.
