You forgot about the most important part of any two way radio system–the Antenna. How about a section for Antenna and Tower discussions?
“Antennas, Towers, Feedlines, Etc.”
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll consider it and may add it if there is enough interest and discussion to create a new section for it.
I would say NO to the antenna section personally…
with all the static we had in the simple question of if radios are becoming too complicated, just imagine how bad an antenna section would get.
Just reading antenna adds in magazines irritates me…
not sure how those manufacturers get all the gain they claim to get…
and personal preferences can rapidly become gospel…
having an antenna section that is anything more than an add for sales to the ignorant with money is simply opening up a can of worms.
I can already imagine the argument about the difference between actual gain and efficiency related gain claims.
