wahhh u gt a new wan again! eh sure! if u wan i can come by 2morrow (sat) u not working thn rite? sms me bah bro and and yalor ish damn lansi! LOLOL would like to see ur setup also. txt me!

Credits to crazyghost, he helped me get everything at a good price. No need wait for month or smuggle or buy at super marked up price! Haha! Eddy, you come we operate 10m. Sorry ah i buy first.. You're gonna join me soon! Fast your 857. my setup, is modest but great!

bingyao: so so so, izit working?

we manage to get it working, but the 10m radials having prob at the screwing in part, but still working great with an antenna tuner, manage to get good reports from seremban & subang haha propagation not good yesterday

other bands working fine even without tuner, giving swr 1.5-2

Crazy, hope you have free time to help me fix that 10m radial. We have 2 options, bring down and try to fix the thread if cannot then try claim warranty if really cannot. We remove the 80m radial and put the 10m one there.. Since 80m is for cw only. I think. Anyhow, thank alot crazy!! The tuner was great and the power supply too.. Now left the radio havent arrive. Eddy how is the key ah??

no prob ben, we will see how when the both of us got free time haha, i think i have my plate full for this weekend, i'll get back to you later on that...

by the way i thought ur radio suppose to be arriving on mon, so how is it??

just got my ft 60r..currently swl only...
waiting for rae 2010-3 exam...
sila beri tunjuk ajar kawan2..hehe

welcome to world of amateur radio boxcar..yup im sure lot of members can guide u (im not qualified...newbie here )
for 'kawasan tengah', there are 2 new repeater which are belong to AKRAB n JASRA (repeater location : genting)

Could you please update me on the freq. for the repeaters please - AKRAB, JASRA and PARTS ( All Genting repeaters).

I don't reckon hams to be that lazy. Repeater frequency listing is all over the net. Do some searching first alright? peace.

I have done that but still looking for PARTS. TQ

not all clubs or organizations or whatever you call it have a repeater, namely RACES as it is a group only

thanks for the welcome..i'm from kl
any idea when the next rae exam gonna b? cant wait to get my license..
currently just monitoring channels...planning to get the mobile antenna for my car...most probably mr77..any comments?

not sure for next exam..could be around october or december.
Im also using mr77, no problem monitor repeater channels but rx reception quite poor for simplex

mr77 is among the best quarter length antenna, put it at the center of your car's roof and I don't think you'll have problem hitting repeaters or doing simplex tens of miles away ..

Indeed one of the best 1/4 wave, good for repeaters. However, due to high take off angle simplex performance is just so so only..

hmm, tell me more about the take off angle part .. I don't know much about antenna other than just using whatever I've bought..

Wiraone, I thought you are very technical person? Haha or you wanna test me. http://www.mikezulu.com/angle.htm here is a good explanation about angle of radiation. 1/4 wave is known for its high take off angle so I would use it for hitting repeaters. For simplex performance I would go for a 5/8 mobile antenna as the take off angle is much much lower. Almost horizontal maybe?

No really, I've heard about this take off angle on HF antenna design, but I don't really know that it also affecting the vertical VHF mobile antenna too. I'm probably technical when it goes about computer but not about radio transmission

One thing though, this is from my previous experience in convoy somewhere at PLUS highway near Tanjung Malim, I was using SG7500 and another friend using SG7900 and the third car was using MR77 on top of his roof. We had a conversation with another ham from Sg Besar (from his home, guess on vertical too) .. at one time, we, the one with 5/8s couldn't hear anything .. but the guy with the MR77 just happily continue his conversation.. I guess positioning the antenna at the centre of the roof really help I guess.. as said, my knowledge in antenna is almost nil!

i think this document could help some of antenna basic theory
