To All, I am working on a Dual Band J Pole. What I am wondering is the following...
if I use 90degree copper connectors and pipe, I get a nice clear signal and an SWR of like 1.4 If I use a pipe bender, that all goes out the window. The SWR stays the basic 1.2 - 1.5 but the actual audio has a weird pop and the signal loses a lot of strength. Anyone have a clue why the nice neat bends make the signal sound like garbage? Do I need to really use the ugly joints? -- Richard Bonica C: 281.935.7222 Email: [email protected] Freq: 147.000 - DMR - Digital Mobile Territory: NE Fort Bend CERT, CST, EST, WEB EOC, HSEEP, FEMA PD, Wilderness First Aid, CPR, Extra Ameture Radio
