Building a red system
#3
Thank you =]

I am very pleased with the noise situation so far. I live out in the county (Harrison is unincorporated) but I am in a neighborhood so at times I am at their whim. Next door neighbor installed a street light (goodbye stars) and then moved less than 3 months later. No electric fences out here, people just let their dogs roam.

I will double check green and the coax. The H-field antennas are both just the magnet wire in the terminals right now. I will do better once they are mounted, but I want to make the wires the same length and I do not know what that will be until it is mounted. I was planning on soldering stranded wire stubs to the magnet wire to give the terminals something to bite into. I put the E-field in pvc pipe just before creating this thread, I might have loosened something there as well.

I have it in manual mode with both automatic checkboxes checked. Currently my gains are 8x8 for H and 10x5 for E. Looking at the signals page they are 10x4 for H and 10x2 for E. I did not think they could be higher than the settings page. Possibly this is one of those settings sharing things that I need to look out for.

Yeah, I am a ham. When my wife and I were dating we both took the test at the same time. Different last names, different addresses. We ended up with consecutive callsigns =]

KG4GJY for me and KG4GJX for her.

Thanks again!!
