When introducing the advantages of a yagi to someone for the first time, they need to know that the more gain and directionality that is realized by adding elements, the narrower the range of frequencies it is effective over. And at frequencies not too far above that which it is optimal at, it useful response falls as if off a cliff. A very high gain yagi, with impressive performance at its design frequency won't always be the ultimate solution, depending on the overall requirements of the user.
@georgebulbakwa90173 жыл бұрын
Built one of those for a comms class. Our class was required to build an antenna. My group decided to cheap out. My instructor was so amused that a group would try to cheap out in his class that he made sure we nailed a very narrow frequency. It still was cheap but we ended up fine tuning the frequency with files and sandpaper to nail the length of the elements. Our cheap out made us the focus of our instructor and he was highly amused at our fine-tuning while not allowing us to add variable inductors or capacitors to make our lives easier. He just laughed while telling us, "those components will add more cost. You wanted cheap".

11:07 The end of a measuring tape is flimsy for a reason: when you use the tape as a hook, it compensates for its own thickness by extending the tape by about a millimetre - whereas when you push the tape against something, it collapses. It’s a deliberate design decision. However, just measuring from a later point may be easier in some cases.

As an addendum to the note at 11:10, the reason the end of measuring tapes seem to have a loose end, it's to take into account the thickness of the clip. So if you are measuring from a wall, the click slides in, butting up against the wall. And if you're measuring something with the clip hanging off the end, the clip slides forward exactly the thickness of the clip, giving you an accurate measurement.

@11:07 Tape measures also have differing scales when they're made that denote the percentage of error or error rate. If you look on the package when you buy a measure you'll find the error rate marked on the package. To make your life easier always buy tapes of the same error rate and, in general, from the same manufacturer. This will ensure that all of *your* tapes line up to each other relatively well.

The floppy knobby end of the tape is designed (ideally) to be included. If you push the tape against something, it flops back and the width is included (on purpose). If you pull the tape, the knob flops forward and the width is no longer included. Your tip of starting at 1" is good for something like this, though, since you're not measuring on or off a surface.

Everyone gets the pipe lengths wrong. If you look at the diagram, it shows the distance between the elements as 12 1/2 and 8 inches. That is not the length of the pipes; they must be shorter than that in order to account for the space occupied by the T and cross fittings. The correct lengths are 11 1/2 and 7 inches! Also, the Instructables page has a typo putting the long tube at 17 1/2 inches, which will really screw up the tuning of the antenna.

I love you guys so much. I have one burning question... for your set design why are you back lit? (I'm legitimately curious)

You know what's funny -- people were giving bad reviews on knock-off flat antennas on Amazon because they would break them open to find measuring tape, and now it doesn't seem so silly.

The one dislike on this video is from the guy on the radio talking about growing shrooms. He didn't care to be in the video.

Oh wow, Brian Brushwood. At first I thought, "He's a Ham too". Anyway, wouldn't the dipole on the Yagi work better vertically for 2m? I don't mean point it up, but just spin the boom 90˚ either way. Since repeaters and handheld antenna's are typically oriented vertically.

So this hairpin match is somthing like a lecher line? Haven't touched a radio in like 20 years. Used to build my own antennas (with varying success ^^)

I want to see them make a moon raker antenna , now that would be cool to see . I built one back in my 20s , the bigger you make them the longer you can throw & receive a Signal .

What kind of wire can I use for the hair pin match? Could it be a paper clip or does it have to be a certain type and gauge of wire?

Since it was mentioned, any chance we can get a 3d printing episode?
