Many thanks for Your tutorial .It was more than useful 🎉 My Shari is know working with asl3 and I am able now to discover the AllStarLink hamnetwork 73😊

8:35 scared the shi out of me I was like oh god something's got 50 amps going through 18 gauge wire and started instantly sniffing and looking around me.

Thanks for sharing your experience. After years of using hamsticks and loaded verticals, I installed the ATAS on the roof of my vehicle with low expectations. The performance has been amazing. I can work everything I can hear. I use it for POTA activations and hunting. It's so nice to change bands quickly, especially when hunting on different bands. It combines with the FT891 to make for an impressive mobile HF experience.

thanks for putting the sa811-menu up because I haven't seen it anywhere else

awesome presentation! If you are feeding an EFHW or Dipole up in the trees, and don't want the weight of the ferrites at the feed point, is it equally effective to have the ferrites near the radio, or halfway along the coax on the ground, etc?

Thank you for this video! I am new ham experiencing some Common Mode currents issue on digital modes and I stumbled upon your wonderful video. Would the attenuation also affect RF currents coming out to the antenna?

Storm isn't over yet

Excellent video. Clear, concise and accurate. Setup my Pi4 last night, works great. Keep up the videos.

If you have questions or comments, drop them below.

Tim! Pick me…pick me for the prison edition battery giveaway!! It will work perfect for my new build!

I use Smartlogger on both my Android cellphone and Surface Go3. They sync together as well can log offline.

Not much here in northern DE as they said that we would get. I want a refund!

Keep indoors!

Tim! Very, very well done. I followed you through, and the setup was just as you narrated; successful! Your pace and method of instruction were perfect for me. Thank you. See you out there. 73 de Bill

Enjoyed the video! I just discovered your site, plan to review your past videos. I am a new operator, and planning to use an 891 and Atas-120 in my Expedition for POTA. What is the logging (and map) system that you are using on your laptop? Do you have a video that explains the set-up/process that you are using? Thank you! 73, Chuck

any antenna is better than NO antenna. Use what ya got. I got the atas 120 when I purchased a yeas 897d from a guy. He had the whole set radio, antenna tuner, antenna, etc. Great price and diamond mount for the antenna. Does it work yeah made lots of contacts using it. Is there something better out there???? Probably but this is what I have and it works. :)

Great Antenna. I use it for CW Mobile. I added ground straps to K400 mount and all doors and such with star washers. Worked lots of DX mobile at 2AM. Mounted on lower hatch and I can get into the garage and not remove the antenna. Car is a Honda Civic. Small paddles next to the shifter works fine. Cup holder and mount holds the FT-891 head unit. Very easy install. 73 Bill KG4FXG

Sometimes I use a triple mag magnetic mount on the Jeep with a vertical telescoping whip for portable operation. The mount has a 17 ft. RG58 coax attached to it. I would think adding ferrite chokes on the coax close to the mount may help prevent the coax from becoming a part of the antenna. Thoughts? Or, ?

Thanks for a great video! I bought a SHARI PiHat, loaded ASL3 and could not get the SA818 to launch. Your video solved my problem and also made the overall project much easier.

Audio is too low!

Happy New Year!!! 75's

Audio good now! Happy New Year Tim!

Happy New Year dude stay warm out there!

Gary KC1CQB is a brother from another mother 😉…. I ordered the ATAS and waiting for its arrival! 🎙️

Hey Tim, I know you are cranking out up to 14 parks on this trip. Quick question when you have time…… What is your current preferred POTA logging application? I think I’ve seen you use HAMRS and Polo. No sense in reinventing the wheel on this end I’m curious if you’ve settled on one as of late.

Excellent walk-thru, very helpful. Thank you very much! The video music is a bit distracting and if you could put your picture in the lower right and move the browser up in the video it would be easier to see what you are doing!

it is a little bite expensive at least for me,

What software are you using on your Mac.

First of all, use them if you need them, second also use them on measurement cables, third use several different types ferrite’s to be able to cover a large bandwidth. Last don’t use them if they are not needed.

This is on my wishlist for my 710…..

Nicely done videos, what logging program are you using?

All these ant buffs never ever compare there final overviews pertaining to LOCAL/NVIS, REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND DX DISTANCES. A short very low effiency whip antenna like this one, is useles for NVIS OR DX. Rather ground wave like comms. .useless abd extremely expensive!!!!! No thanks

What logging software are you using in this activation? TIA 73, W4TKX

With a wire or quarter wave vertical for 10-20 at least you won’t lose most of your power thru the loading coil.

Hey Tim what mount are you running on your Bronco. I have 2021 Big Bend.

It has always worked well for me, have it on a jeep wrangler and it is a fantastic combo with the 891. Had one with a 857d and always worked very well

Stationary POTA, this antenna will work fine, but for lot of Roving and Mobile POTA, this antenna will break in no time. I had one of those antenna, it broke, I never bought another and will never buy another ATAS 120 antenna. Any way my mobile Hustler antennas are doing a fine job for POTA. 73 de N2NWK

I have 2 ATAS 120A's. My Ram 2 500 is the main mobile platform with an FT 891 on a Lido mount, and extensive grounding of the frame, doors and panels. I believe that the extra effort in bonding the vehicle panels pays off. I lost count after 30 ground straps. I have over 1300 QSO's in 24 park activation so far with this setup. Highest antenna gain is to the passenger side of the vehicle since the antenna is mounted front left. Europe contacts on 15 m in central Texas are frequent. Don K1DLA

I have the 120a paired to an ft-991 as well. works great for lol ole me. I don't do any 80m mobile so that's not an issue. I use a diamond duplexer. I don't do pota but when I am at a park with my travel trailer i play on the radio. Have fun , joe WA4UJY

The convenience of an ATAS and 891 always gets me thinking about it during the winter months.

NICE Video.The FT-991A might be a nice Radio for 6m, 144 and 430Mhz. On the HF Bands it won't make you any Friends. Splatter Splatter Splatter dirty dirty TX Signal. But let's stay with the ATAS Antenna. I had the ATAS-100 as one Set coming with the FT-100D Field Commander in the late 1990's and it was like burning my Money. The FT-100D was a fantastic Radio. Not enough of that I was stupid enough to get me the ATAS-120A later in 2016 after listening to People who praised this Antenna to be better than the ATAS-100 which is the exact same Junk Product than the ATAS-100. Any Tarheel or Scorpion Screwdriver Antenna produces a way louder Signal. TRUST. Happy new Year to you & 73 de Uncle Günter across the Pond 👌👍🙋‍♂

I own two 120A's. One for POTA and the other as my primary antenna in the attic. It is mounted on a mag mount sitting on a faraday cloth with a wire lead attached from the base of the mag mount and alligator clipped to the faraday cloth. Had to add a small piece of window screen to get the antenna to tune on 12m. Antenna now tunes from 2-40m.

Previously used a Hi-Q Antenna but it’s a bit large for my current mobile. Switched to the ATAS and love it. Question?? I had the same mount you are using. Do you find it really sways at highway speeds? Mine does although the mount is solid, I am concerned about stress on the antenna or other.

what kind of mount are you using for the Atas? Thanks Tom

I used one of those mobile for a year or two but I like to do 80 m mobile so I went with a full-size Tar Heel and never look back. It’s the best antenna I’ve ever had.

Lets get real; much of the work done by audiophiles is done on MAC’s. Ring me when you don’t require retooling all my gear, yeah?
