Radio Tuning?
Where should I send a radio if I want to get it tuned for peak performance?
Thanks. |

... Where should I send a radio if I want to get it tuned for peak performance? Thanks The manufacturer? Seriously, WHY? You're only going to see 1-2dB gain maximum (more likely 1dB) from this rather dubious "peak and tweak".. Better feedline, or a better antenna will get you that, plus it applies to any radio you use, not just that one. -- KC6ETE Dave's Engineering Page, www.dvanhorn.org Microcontroller Consultant, specializing in Atmel AVR |

Peak and Tune is allot of Bull****, just a sucker fad.
Usually it screws up the radio, if you need more distance, get a amp. "Dave VanHorn" wrote in message ... "K. Williams" wrote in message ...

Way back when (when disco was new..) I worked in a 2-way shop, and I was
able to get up to 5W out of the new (at that time) 4W rigs. Done right, it's a marginal if mostly un-noticable improvement. Done wrong, the harmonic output goes way up, the output transistors get hotter than they should, and it's just a mess. Spend the same money on the antenna! -- KC6ETE Dave's Engineering Page, www.dvanhorn.org Microcontroller Consultant, specializing in Atmel AVR |
