Cowtown antenna/DX77 HML problems.

That's okay. I was just pointing out that some people's limitations are self-imposed.

 

Who knows..If im still in good health come spring i just might give it a go..My 50/50 chances of seeing 2 yrs is about 1/2 up so ill play it by ear..

 

If you ever feel like going 80 miles out of route my offer still stands

 

Whatever you do don't let him touch your radio.

 

Rabbi..If i ever get that way ill be buzzin ya..
Im so sure im missing or doin some stupid thing..A simple fix and ill do dbl my range..I just feel it..Jusy cant touch it, sorta speak..

 

If mounting it to a headache rack then you need to run ground straps. Im sure there is rubber of some sort between the fram and the headache rack mounts.. The u-bolts alone are not enough to get good ground. Doing the out back is a good way... Just don't forget to ground the bracket.... If you don't want to buy anything.. Mount it on top of the headache rack with a stud mount and get a fiberglass antenna. Have talked a few guys that have done that good results, but clearance does come into play. Anything mounted behind or on the side is going to be very directional.

 

He is an excellent trouble shooter and repairman according to Russ. But you are right, tunes basically by ear using only a power meter.

 

I'd recommend him for a quick fix in a pinch but the tune is completely worthless
