OT: Palstar QST review
Locked
 
|
The Palstar ZM-30 is essentially the AmQRP Micro908
kit antenna analyzer, less some features, and repackaged as a manufactured item. I have a Micro908. It's beyond fabulous. I sold my MFJ and the Autek. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'll second that...except for the MFJ and Autek part. The Micro 908
is the second analyzer that I have owned, and by far the better. I previously owned an MFJ 209 analyzer. It worked well, as far as I know. The Micro 908 kit is a great piece of gear. It is essentially a Microprocessor based unit that has the ability to run different software packages, and consequently can serve different hardware functions. So far, the software available is the AA908 (antenna analyzer) and the AF908 (dsp filter). When running the AA908 software there is also a PC software program that allows you to download and graph the SWR curve of your antenna, as well as the resistance and reactance curves. It is a really neat platform and they are developing more software for it. You should consider this kit. It winds up being about the same price as the MFJ unit.

Just worked a special events station in Maine... W1T... commemorating the sinking of the Titanic. He is on 14256. I had just finished a change on my HB minibeam and was tuning around A/B'ing signals with my sloper, and came across him. There was a huge pileup, and for kicks I called him. Nabbed him on the second try. He gave me a 59, and said he was amazed he pulled my call out of the pileup since most of the stations calling were 20 over. I was running the K2 at 10W into the minibeam at 35' ;-) Is it the clean K2 audio, lucky timimg... or just the K2 mojo?

Did I break some kind of rule? The frequency was a throwaway in case
someone else was interested. The thrust of the posting was the "mojo" that was reported a couple days ago. If I wanted to just post a spot, I would have done so on a web cluster, which I didn't do.

In reply to this post by N8LP
Speaking of special events stations, K2 Mojo etc.
I worked one about a half an hour ago on 7.050, it was W5E in Louisiana, commemorating the last combat mission flown by the 8th Air Force, against Germany in WW 2. I was running 2 watts (from my just installed this evening, internal battery for the K2) and he gave me a 579. I don't know what it is Larry but whatever it is, it works.
