[Merged] Radio talk

[pajerokid]

Saw it at the fort.

I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw them! A lot of units in stock.

2mile range, so it says.

I was gonna buy a pair but i forgot my wallet (petty excuse for not having cash :D )

icom v8000 kinabitan mo ng antena na tig 250?

anong antena ba yun? baka masira yung unit mo sayang lang

i guess generic antena so ikaw pa ang nag tono nun?

dami naman reasonably priced na vhf antenaes kahit larsen lang ok na

[boybi]

nakawin kasi ang larsen tsaka masyado mahaba. dyahe pag pumapasok sa parking ng malls. pano ba magtono? ok naman reception ko. and most members of our club e ganitong antenna ang gamit. pero ako lang ata naka v8000.

mga pogi, oks kaya yung frs/gmrs radio na uniden? may nakita ako sa pricesmart kanina 1800 lang for a pair kaso 110v yunng charger?

Tried a pair once, hindi totoo yung 2 mile range except for wide open spaces. You'd be saving dough for a pair of Motorola or Kenwood FRS units.

Di naman mabilis manakaw ang Larsen, higpitan mo by using vise-grip or pliers na may tabon ng basahan para di magasgas ang base ng antenna.

Meron gutter mounts that can be bent when entering limited height parking spaces, nalimutan ko lang kung anong tatak gamit ko dati.

Sa pag tono ng antenna, you will need a SWR meter and an extra harness. Tune the antenna where your operationg frequency is, para hindi bingi sa pag receive ng signals. Kung operating on low 142.00-143.00Mhz, extend the rod from its base about 2-7mm. Kung high freqs, 145.00-147.00Mhz, kailangan ng konting kikil naman sa rod.

for me paborito ko gamitin diamond antennaes (super gainer gamit ko ngayon) sobra ok
i was in tagaytay nagkakausap kami ng bro ko he was in megamall.
(drawback lang pag diamond mahahaba kasi d pwede gutter mount dapat bumpers.... kaya nga plan ko kumuha tjm na me aerial mount para nasa front na yung antena ko....
nanakawan na ako nyan before sa may sampaloc ako nun )

pag mga diamonds usually pre tuned na yun and pwede mo sya baliin para pag papasok ka sa mga places w low headroom
pag yung mga generic na antena kailangang me know hows ka sa pag tune and u need a SWR meter as mentioned by ungas

[boybi]

ano bang mangyayari kung hindi naka-tune? so far ok naman itong sa akin, and ito din mostly ang gamit sa club namin so baka tuned na for the frequency range na gamit namin.

[Ungas]

Kadalasan factory tuned na ang mga antennas, unless nasa malayong frequencies ang ginagamit nyo.

Bingi ang transmit and receive ng radios pad di tama ang tuning. Ang masama, finals ng radio ang tatamaan. Eto yung nagpapagana ng pag transmit nyo sa radio.

[boybi]

bingi as in malabo ang transmit and receive? malinaw naman sa akin so i guess tuned na ito?

[Ungas]

I suppose so. SWR meter readout should be 1.2-1.5 only.

[afrasay]

pag di naka tune hindi 100% bato ng signal. 1.0 na perfect. pagtumaas ang number may bumabalik na wattage sa radio which could damage your RF amplifier stage. kung low power .5 to 5w ok lang, pero yun 45w to 100w delikado pag di naka-tune.

[boybi]

saan ba meron SWR meter?

[afrasay]

sa raon, UNICO sales. sabay ko sa pagtanong ng fRS ni olivedrab.

[boybi]

mura lang ba yang SWR? lagi bang ginagamit yan? saan part ba yan kinakabit?

[Sheep]

parang small black box lang sya with a meter of course


it has an in and out
IN is where you would attach the antennae to be tuned and out to your radio
you might need extra coax and ampenols to make connectors if the swr you bought didnt came with any


price : sorry im not updated
sa china plaza sa taas


pag sinasabing bingi - it means malakas ang transmit mo pero wala or mahina recieve

[Ungas]

Paalala lang boybi yung SWR meter minsan lang kinakabit pag titignan ang range ng meter. Wag mong ibababad sa connection papuntang antena. It could also act as an attenuator.

[boybi]

meron ba kayong SWR meter? pahiram nalang sa Sat para ma-test ko lang antenna ko.

[Suzuki-san]

boybi,

try to visit Andelnes in Buendia. They will check your antenna and do the tuning for you. Look for Boy. The store is located at the right side past Dominga St if you are coming from LRT Gil Puyat station, heading towards South Super Highway/Makati Business Center.

kahit wala akong nabili sa kanila? or meron charge ang pag-check and tune sa antenna?

[afrasay]

noon 1982, P1,500 to 2,000 depends kung watt meter/SWR ang combo.

Yup, kahit walang kang binili sa kanila. Ang understanding ko hindi lalagpas ng P300 pag nagpatono ka.

afrasay::: yung bang sinasabi mong presyo, cost ng SWR meter or bayad sa antenna tuning? Ang alam ko kasi mga P300 lang. Di ko lang sure kung nung 1982 eh mahigit isang libo ang papapatono noon. Start ko kasi mag-radyo mid-1995 na eh.
