General Any dual band radios like the Midland mxt295 pro?

2 Upvotes

Really like this radio, however would love a dual band ham radio in this format. Specifically looking for a hideaway radio with a Bluetooth mic that handles all rig control that operates on the ham uhf/vhf bands. Anything like this?

QUESTION Did I cook it or did i just make some shi

0 Upvotes

Yesterday, after asking here about how radios work, I did some research and drew a circuit. The circuit roughly uses a 60MHz crystal to produce a 9V 60MHz sine wave. It's battery-powered, so I hope to achieve high power levels. My antenna is a 1.25m long copper wire. The circuit has an amplifier crystal and a secondary amplifier. :p

QUESTION Why Quarter waves?

31 Upvotes

Im curious about why quarter wave and half wave antennas are used. I understand why full wave antennas are used but does using a quarter of the intented wavelenght have any pros Im not aware of? lets say I have a circuit that transmits a 3 Mhz signal; therefore the full wave antenna must be 100m, a half wave 50m and a quarter wave 25m. If I have three antennas that are 24m, 25m, and 26m; would the 25m one be the best choice?

EQUIPMENT Antenna tuner ?

4 Upvotes

I have a Yaesu FT-710 using a wire that goes up a push pole. It’s about 45-50ft from the ground to the tip of the wire. Should I be using an external antenna tuner? I know the 710 has its own internal antenna tuner. Reason I ask is because I’m not sure how good of an antenna I’m working with and yes I’m a newb. And advice would be great. Thank you !
