writes: I had a R-392. The BNC connector was for the Jeep type whip. Since this was truly a field type radio, they included the universal antenna post for hooking up any kind of long wire. Thanks for the post. I was wondering if the BNC connector might go thru a low-Z network, compared to the good-old-fashinoed binding post. It would be an easy thing to pull the chassis out, and see if there is any kind of impedance matching network off either of the 2 antenna ports. Easy to get the chassis out (and a delight to look at -- this radio is as pretty inside as it is ugly outside -- kiss the frog), but might need a fiber optic scope to see inside the antenna system. I'll take a look. Let me tell you, that thing is killer on the BCB with any kind of loop fed into the BNC connector. That's nice to know! I haven't done much with hooking loops to radios not intended for them, but I do have some around I could try. Get a LOT less noise and static with a loop than a hank of wire, for sure. Tnx es 73, Mike K. Oscar loves trash, but hates Spam! Delete him to reply to me. |
