I'm in the process of building a radio shack as I have been out of it for a few years. First I need to find the right radio that is capable of driving a product in the most efficient way. The radio has to be close to the exact dead key and the most power out PEP which isn't much. Once I do that I am looking for a 50 foot plus tower. A Jogunn antenna as I have owned 4 in the past and only had one problem. The 8+8 star does not have ears. I had 2 pre-amp going but the we!aaaareceive part was very bad. I narrowed it down to 1 Jogunn so far. Okay, Radio, Product that connects between the radio and antenna. A pre-amp, Tower, Antenna, lnline Meters, Rotor, All directional antenn, Coax...not the cheap stuff, rotor wire, and probably something I am forgetting. I'm anxious..happy anxious about this but Stuck on the right radio that will dead key 2 or 3 and swing 20 or a hair more. I need suggestions, AM/FM/SSB and CW. No noise toys, I wouldn't mind having a full band transceiver however to get it to dead key 2 and swing to 20 is impossible I understand it sounds different on AM from lack of modulation but with DSP and Compression I believe it sounds good. Anyway still looking. Thanks for asking...Mike.
