Using the Flex 3000 Portable/Mobile with YP3 Antenna
June 27th, 2009
So I used the Flex Radio for the first time on air, down Llanmadoc beach in Swansea.
Setup a YP3 Beam in a Bag on a Racal pneumatic mast.
Flex receive is fantastic, however the radio at times refused to transmit, not could the ATU match up. Despite the Antenna having a very good VSWR reading on the MFJ Analyiser.
Switched back to the Icom 706 which is on the dash, and made a good few contacts.
Will have to investigate why the Flex is temperamental
