[NLRS] 2M Power Divider

[Kirk P]

Thank you all to reached out with help. Very much appreciated.


I was able to borrow one from Vince that got me on the air last night. Ill look into the offers to buy from a couple of other guys.


Last winter I maybe copied 5 stations total, working 2. Last night I copied over 15 stations though did not have qso with any.


My take away from that is my RX is better, Ive found a way to beat the noise of my crowded neighborhood and all that brings.


One station PA5Y was kinda frustrated that he could not hear my 300w coming from this 2x12 array..he commented it must be a tx problem.


Looking into that this morning I just found using my analyzer that my swr is less than 1.2:1 at 137.000 (Id call that very good)

Im using 1/2" heliax with a run not greater than 50' with the fewest connectors in that run as possible. (Well, I could probably shed one more)


Short of having the amp at the antenna, I dont know if there is anything else I can do to improve it. A 4X12! HI


Any further thoughts appreciated.


AGN..thanks for all the help.

Just my luck!


Just finished installing my 2X12 array for EME under the light of this magnificent moon ...and when finger tightening the "N" connectors to my M2 Power Divider one of the lugs snapped right off. No joke!


So, Im on the hunt for a 2m power divider...anyone?


This one will go back to M2 for a repair.
