Thanks for this idea. Using this combination, with 2 extra pac-12 upright sections. I am able to tune, all bands, from 20 metres to 10 metres without the lossy coil. M1REK
I use about same setup with AT-271 SEM 35 antenna and 3/8 24 UNF to M10 adapter which works fine too. I also replaced the SO 239 on the base part with a waterproof N chassis mount.
You showed you antenna in the field with the feed insulator up side down. You have the center conductor of the coax connected to the radial field and the shield connected to the vertical antenna ? Barry
I need to buy some test equipment so I can measure antenna without TX-in, for sure will do follow up video but getting HF antenna analyzer is not a priority right now for me as I don't use it often.
@@DARTHDANSAN If you have the PAC-12 Antenna you use the ant-129 on the PAC-12 and it connects to the radio with PL/SO 259 coax. BTW I have much better results using the antenna that came with the PAC-12.
@@DARTHDANSAN What do You mean how to connect? You attach it via 50ohm coaxial cable with adapters to match radio and antenna. In Your case most like that would be two UHF connectors. I used UHF to BNC since it's just quicker to deploy and I like military grade coax cable - but it's totally up to You - don't pay attention to any insertion loss on two adapters since it's going to be minimal.
yes you have to add one other coil.. i have done with a buddipole and it's ok on 5 mhz.. using a ground system with 4 x 5 mts wire. I ordered a Pac 12 and i'm waiting for it . it's the same ..(copy).. antenna.

Where did you get the adapter ? I have been looking online and found nothing,
great video thanks 73 from kb2uew
Thanks for watching!

nice video well done...if i may ask which bands were you able to tune with the ANT 129 antenna.. thanks

Do you have a link to th6ANT-125?
Thanks for sharing
Its the ANT 129. You can find it on Ebay.
@@glenn718 hi how would I connect ant -129 to my Yeasu ft-891 ??? What adapter?

@@glenn718 thanks just saw this reply
I have the JPC-12, it looks to be the same product.
Good morning,
I have a military antenna like yours, however the wiring is not the same from the antenna to the choke, how did you do it? F5CAV
I'm not sure what You mean, maybe I have matching coil upside down? What is problem? You can't get SWR low?
The slider on my coil is very hard to move up and down. Is there a way to make this easier?
I would add some petroleum jelly to make it easier to move.
But first check if it's not bend - maybe this is main issue!
That military antenna, was it the Manpack folding antenna?
Military part was whip "ANT 129 " - You can google it up

Where did you buy this ant -129?
I bought it off eBay some time ago. Don't have link or anything - just search for that name and someone came up so I bough.
@@ElectronicNoobBlog thanks
60 Meter modable?
I don't think so, everything can be lengthened via coil but I think usability will be not worth.
