Windows Defender on WIN10 or WIN11 is perfectly adequate IF you regularly get updates.

@hamradiotube Год назад

See that's yet another thing to hate about windows. Their stupid updates timed to force update when you need to use the computer the most.

@kb9jqu Год назад

I also had my ATAS-120A do this. Great video Mike on the fix! It is exactly what I did to get my back on the air. All I can say is occasionally the ATAS "forgets" where it is at (especially if you manually tune). The solution I, and others, have found is patience and power cycling the radio on/off. It eventually figures out where it is. Also try switching bands and re-tuning. Today mine was stuck on 10 meters and would not tune. I switched to 17 meters, and she tuned right up! The ATAS-120A has been my go-to POTA "drive up" antenna for 20-6 meters and I've made contacts from the USA to Asia, Europe and South America with it during POTA activations. It truly Rocks! 73 de KB9JQU

But zombies only want raw brains, so you should want to fry them for protection!

They're pretty delicious!

@madmoe1 Год назад

Awesome! I was gifted an Atas antenna and noticed it rattled… then out popped a bearing. Looks simple enough to get in order.

Mike, I love these 'Mailbag Monday' Q&A videos. Great questions from viewers and very informative for new and long-time HAMs. Most of all I like that you keep them around 10 minutes. I follow several HAM and Guitar related videos every day. I do not have 12 hours a day to watch 30+ minute videos from everybody. I have followed you from your early days on RU-vid and you have come a long way from your humble, inexperienced beginning to an experienced knowledgeable HAM. Thanks for all you do to promote HAM radio...73 my friend! (a.k.a. stringbender57 on RU-vid)

@hamradiotube Год назад

Well hey, thanks so much for the kind words. Glad to have you here and glad you like the videos. I still have a long way to go in this wonderful hobby but its crazy to look back at those early days for a good laugh! I've really been focusing on upping the production quality of the videos so hopefully that is showing. Learning it all on my own as I go. 73 and rock on!

I'm getting TMS therapy daily for depression. It jolts my face muscles and brain on every 1Hz or 10Hz EMP pulse.. If your face and brain ain't jolting, you're perfectly OK.😆👌🧲⚡️

@TheGeekiestGuy 5 месяцев назад

I just scored a new in-box ATAS-120a with everything but a mount. Do you have any mounts for pota and roof use? I have a metal roof, but I'm thinking about getting it as high as I can.

@muhmurica4215 Год назад

I have the ring for the atbk-100 but no radials. Could I cut some threaded rod to replace them? Would it work? What's the dimensions of the 4 radials?

@stewartrv Год назад

Try do that Exposure calc on a standard handheld running 5W FM with an Abree with a bit of gain on UHF. It's quite a bit worse than a X6100 on 20m...

@hamradiotube Год назад

AAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE has all the gain!

Great video on an easy fix on the ATAS. Mike, why do I get the feeling that you are the guy who could break a ball bearing with a rubber mallet.....LMAO. No, you're rough on your equipment, but do well in fixing the damage. Thanks for your videos !

@hamradiotube Год назад

Well that sounds like a challenge to me lol!

@MattPatterson1411 Год назад

Anyone know where I can get a replacement whip for the ATAS? Someone bent mine over one day while it was installed on the back of my truck.

Mike I was using my g90 for ft8 with the wsjtx and the flrig and a sound card but it was slow setting up every time so I ordered the cable and the digirig it works for 30 minutes and now it want work but I can pick the hand held microphone and it flash showing power and sound on the flrig what am I doing wrong

I have no idea, but I'd start by watching this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-al99ItgnJ9U.html

I hear it also causes SHOUTING:-). ( just kidding! ;-)

Is that balding more omnidirectional or do you have more off the back side lol?

Never broke a ATAS before but I once broke a ASS trying to install a hexbeam by myself!! ☹

My ATAS 120 will go down with the use of a 9v battery but I cannot get to go up using m 857D. Any suggestions?

I don’t know much about the 857. What does it do when you try it?

@lmychajluk Год назад

So much for the ATAS's manual - 'There are no user serviceable parts inside this antenna.'

@hamradiotube Год назад

They're all serviceable once you puncture the one sticker that is covering up one of the screws while also voiding your warranty. We're hams. They don't think we're going to take it apart? That's just silly.

I think Windows runs Defender Anti-Virus by default. I will not be able to look at mine to verify for 24 or so hours.

@hamradiotube Год назад

Not really, no. I'm more a wham bam thank you ma'am exchange call signs, signal reports, and on to the next. The occasional talk about antennas and gear is always welcome, but I don't really care to talk about mundane stuff like the weather. Fav band would have to be 20 meters. Though 17 is pretty fun now that the sun has woken back up.

Windows 10 and 11 have built in antivirus. It's Called Windows Defender. Not the best, but on a $60 laptop... it's just fine.

If you don't run a Multi Million Dollar Business and doing you all your MoneyTransfers and Wallstreet Shit online you are just more than fine with the Standard Microsoft Defender Anti Virus and Windows Firewall that comes with Windows OS.
