Das beste was man solchen Glasfiberantennen antun kann ist, am Schluss mit K70 Plastikspray einsprühen. Dadurch bleibt die Antenne mind. 2-3 Jahre ohne eindringen von Feuchtigkeit. Das gleiche gilt auch für andere Antennen aus Alu....Noch eine Anmerkung: Keine Blitzschutzanlage auf dem Dach! Weder für die Satschüssel, noch für diese Funkantennen! Vy 73 und 55 DO1....
You did some great work with your install, the only thing I would have done is silicone grease on your screws and the U bolt clamps. I do like where you sealed each of the antenna sections with sealing tape. Inad a Diamond H700 with a broken sections inside the fiberglass poles after just over 2 years. When I contacted Diamond antennas no one has ever called back and no answer on any of my emails. I am very disappointed with Diamond antennas...
This video saved my a$$ when installing my Diamond V2000 triband (6m/2m/440) antenna, which is of a similar design. I couldn't figure out what the "Gasket Holder" (Part #16002) and the "Gasket" (Part #16004) were until I watch this video (1:12 and 2:08). I was confused because the Gasket Holder is seated over the Gasket, and doesn't move due to the tight resistance of the Gasket and the directions were sparse at best. I thought the Gasket Holder was some sort of a non-stationary stop, but I knew something was wrong after tightening the upper joint nut (part 16002) onto the lower joint and noted the Upper Element (part 16001) was loose. Once again, RU-vid to the rescue. 73, Billy
Just a tip for next time. Put an electrical tape first then the rubber tape next, this way it will be a lot easier to peel it off cleanly if need be for maitainance.
Next time put white tape over the black tape for the vvf visual visual Factor it'll all look better. Don't use white cable ties outside. They rot faster than the black ones.
You upgraded from the X510N to this? Why? Did you have any issues with the 510??? How was its performance? Any issues with water leakage, High SWR or RX/TX issues??? I'm looking at going with the X510 or the Comet GP-9 and for some reason, I'm leaning towards the X510, but I'm trying to get actual end user input, vs just manufacture's Shiny Sheet Info. Thanks for your time and this video.
Hola,a ver si puede ayudarme tengo una discono d130 original con una tirada de cable de 65 metros ultraflex 7 ,,vivo cerca de la ciudad a unos 4 kilómetros busco una antena para recibir vhf y uhf y a poder ser aviación y pmr con mayor claridad e probado la x510 original y la tuve que cambiar por la discono de nuevo porque recibía algo mejor la discono, siendo las 2 nuevas y comprobado todo.Me gustaría cambiarla para algo mejor pero no lo tengo claro,si es por el cable que pierde demasiado al tener 65 metros muchas gracias
Hola yo pienso que el primero problema son los 65 metros, es mucho, tiene que haver mucha perdida. Lo que passa es que hablas de muchas bandas PMR (446), aviacion (mas o menos 120) VHF y UHF. Todo eso en una antenna es imposible. Lo que pienso es que por ejemplo une 510 te puede hacer mas o menos todo y pude ser mejor que la discono. Hay que probar
beyond the god awful and quite frankly uncessary music, this is an amazing video, what an antenna and thank you for sharing this installation with us. I am really tempted to get one, but having gone thru a X30 and X50, going to an X7000 hmmm.. looks amazing i bet the performance is as good as it looks.
I just got one to use w/ my IC9700 on 440. It's a bit early, but so far I love it. Mine's up about 30 ft, I see u're a little higher, lol! But this antenna's a real beaut!!
Thank you for sharing :-) Why the loop in the coax at the base of the antenna? I will receive my new Diamond X300A today and I am all set to install it. I looked at the Diamond website at the installation instructions. There is no mention to make the loop. If this is an upgrade, please let me know. Thanks 4 sharing, Jay N6WIP
Next time you need to change or maintenance the antenna, you will have extra coax to can pull up it, change/repair and re-install with no need to un-tie all the rest of coax installation.....
Sehr schönes Video hat mir gut gefallen sehr sauberer Aufbau, vorallem das mit dem Umwickeln fand ich sehr gut. Das habe ich bei meiner X6000 nicht gemacht die auf Dach ist. Was hast du für ein Antennekabel? ist das Airborne 10 ?
Sorry to give you a Thumbs down, but you TALK on the Radio for hours and you could not say a word all through the 11;27 minutes? Also, the music was totally annoying, a loop of the same annoying music! Explain what you are doing will help more understand what and why you are thinking. Also, a list of items used will also be nice, with links will be great!
