Welds look ruff. RFI do a neater job.
You jump start ya car inside? (looks like jumper leads on the table)

This one won't be coming apart till its fked which should be around 10 years or so when we not around most likely..

And not really, both RFI and these have rough welds because they are mass production and have you ever tried to weld Aluminium ?

Both similar but this thing is nice and built really strong!! Uses 25mm Square boom which is 1 size up from all those ones we been farting around with.
Yeah nice thick grade power cable, iv been looking around all day trying to find a termination ring crimp terminal for this cable as all the big ones have the ring way to large for how i need it. :mumum: Finally found some but had to order them in specially. Grrr

Looks good, at least the elements are welded.
Ive seem some crappy old Yagis over the years, rattly old elements that would make heaps of noise and no doubt give intermod issues.
Some dickheads even use dissimilar metals. Gees corrosion central!
Its not as pretty as my RFI ones, they are all shiny gold coloured.
MMMM gold....

Yeah i have one here id like to show you Chopper before i get rid of it and you will have a great laugh soooo, need to catch up. LOL RFI,s are nice yes coz they anodized gold and look sleek with the round boom, but this one here feels more solid still like you could knock someone out if you hit them with it, they make them in Stainless and Aluminium but i got the AL as the stainless would be a bit heavy i reckon.. they claim a slightly higher gain figure than the same size comparison from RFI but i will test that theory after.
faaaaaaaaaaarrrrk! I have been programming all night to force out of band operation of the radio.. Had to hack the radio software with a HEX editor / encoder etc.. LOL Nerd central here tonight!!
I fixed the audio on this Oricom as well, HAHAHA Was gonna throw it in the bin (Cooters ute tray) But now its a winner! *hacked*
