GAIN-MASTER 5/8 WAVE ANTENNE,so much QRM but not so much now....

Hello,as some of you know i suffer from crazy high QRM wifi,and general electrical static ,mostly i recieve between 9 and +10 or +20 on the s meter.Way to high,so as a last resort i decieded to move the Gainmaster as far as i can from any apartments,25 meters coax cable later,and as you can see there is a definitive improvement,i can hear people.Now i average around s7 on the meter. Tomorrow i will bring the SWR/POWER METER to the Gainmaster and see how much power is lost in 25 meters coax cable and also check the SWR at the antenna.Thanks from Rotterdam 73.Hallo, zoals sommigen van jullie weten, heb ik meestal last van gekke hoge QRM-wifi en algemene elektrische statische elektriciteit. Ik ontving tussen 9 + 10 of soms plus 20 op de S-meter manier om me te verstoppen als een laatste Resort moest de gamemaster zo ver mogelijk verplaatsen voor veel appartementen 25 m coaxkabel later en zoals je kunt zien is er een duidelijke verbetering , Ik ben nu gemiddeld rond S7 op de meter, morgen breng ik de swr en power meter naar de Gain / master Ariel en kijk hoeveel stroom er verloren gaat in 25 m coax kabel en check ook de swr bij de antennes. Als het weer het toelaat. Bedankt voor het kijken.73

Hello. I have no idea if you read this but i own a IC 7300 and i am using Filter Setting 3 (BW 7k) for FM. I had good results to decrease the noisefloor a bit more. Greetings from Germany from DO8BI.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi, I don't use fm anymore, because most amateur radio frequencies are on usb/lsb, but I always found filter 2 is for me the best, possibly because I use a external speaker, but thanks for your observation 😊 73 from Rotterdam

Thanks 👍

[@Bernard-John]

Welcome 👍

In my experience Aluminum verticals bring in less noise than fibre glass verticals. Owned a Gain master and Antron 99. I found the Sirio 2016 to be better on RX.
And 2 S points less noise than the Gain master.. Hope this helps..

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,to be honest, there are so many factors, examples the place, the antennae/ coax cable, your neighbours wifi, but generally the Gainmaster 5/8 wave is regarded as one of the better aerials, thanks from Rotterdam 73

[@ronedwards8239]

I have read the opposite. And maybe the other antenna with less noise is deaf.

[@fransbreeds3578]

Looking good,are your the coax cable was not damaged, good luck,

[@Bernard-John]

No worries about the cable 👌

[@joemethea5037]

Cool

[@Bernard-John]

Thanks 😊 73

[@erwinwilliam4157]

Nice microphone, hope to pick one up, for my,7300,

[@Bernard-John]

Hi, second hand, not so expensive, good luck 👍 😊

[@hmo1234]

Is it only on 11m? What about 10m or even higher?

[@Bernard-John]

Hi Mr M, for me with the Gainmaster from 25 mhz to 28 mhz was unworkable with the QRM, funny all the amateur radio bands very little QRM, 🤔🤔.but you can see all the QRM on the scope,much better now, thanks 73

[@24nov67]

what's the better between this the antron 99 and imax 2000? many thanks.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,good interesting question 🤔, but unfortunately I haven't owned either 😕, so I'm comment, but both are excellent aerials, 👌 73 from Rotterdam 👍

[@M7XCB]

I did own A99 and Imax the Imax are better than A99.

[@JPDW3072]

I have the same problem on all channels a S5 QRM.

[@Bernard-John]

Hi,I have found that a aluminium aerials are noticeable less QRM, also with the latest 3/4 wave aerial I've got,,good coaxial cable and well soldered plugs go a long way, good luck 👍73 from Rotterdam 👍
