RF Engineer here. Advising people to take readings when they install their antennas, and then periodically checking them, is solid advice. I constantly see hams using antenna tuners to compensate for deteriorating antenna systems. You can tune a wire coat hanger to any frequency, but that doesn’t make it a good radiator. There’s no substitute for proper antenna installation and maintenance. Right now, at my location, we are currently experiencing sustained 59 MPH (95 KPH) winter winds. I’ll be checking all of my antennas in the morning, when the wind dies down. It only takes a few moments, which is a lot less time than it takes to replace transmitter finals. Great video. 73’s!

Such solid advice; a great setup would be to have RF Switches that can patch in even a cheap analyser in a single click. Our G5RV just 'fell down' after the centre rope snapped and we'll be checking it for sure once this is rectified. 73, Jarrad VK3BL

@@RateMyRadio Replace the G5RV with ZS6BKW's vastly improved design of it.

Melchor Varela EA4FRB says in his manual that his code is open source. So, no industrial espionage invoked in this case.

Thanks soo much for the videos you do Bro. You may think they do not matter. but believe me. you have no idea how many people ask specialized questions and think no one would do a video on that.. but YOU DO! .. and thanks. Helps when you are either hyper critical or highly inquisitive. Thank you soo much. :)

Dear Johnny, you're more than welcome! Thanks for the lovely feedback and I am sorry it so long for me to reply; I have had teeth problems and my eldest son is having issues at school. Take care of yourself and I will keep making the videos 73 Jarrad VK3BL :)

I have a friend's Sark 100. I downloaded the SM6WHY software. While the app says COM14 is open, the Sark says 'Waiting Link". I have tried various Baus rates but no joy. Where is the COM port configured?

[@KL3NCH]

Looks like the Sark100 is at least twice the size of the Mini60? They all look the same on eBay. Mine came with integrated bluetooth and rechargeable lithium pack. Great product (if you end up with a working example that is...) A good video but I prefer my Mini60.

[@Waltonville]

I found the software I think but haven't figured out how to install it or run the software. Can anyone tell me where to get the software and how to install and use the software and link the SARK 100???

[@AlpineWarren]

So this will show swr on 11 meter CB as well?

[@James_Bowie]

Yes.

If you're in VK, its not mandatory :). We will provide a pinned post here, as well as our 'Rate My Radio' Facebook Page. The comment was more that we announced the competition specifically on some VK FB Groups :)
